Thanks mate I might take you up on that offer but only one last time I had four I ended up with a girlfriend 😂

Will the fish be fine when one adds yeast to the daphnia culture tank?
Great to finally find your channel . Have watched your store on Nick’s channel several times 👌👌.

I haven’t had any issues but only use a small amount a little goes a long way

Tossed some live daphnia from a refridgerator into a tub with old dechlorinated aquarium water. PH 6.3 after a week, i'm afraid nearly all are dead xD fed them with a pinch of rice+pea+algae powder. the baby shrimp and bladder snails in there seem to be fine *shrugs* soooo... you recommend hard tap water then?

[@duthieaquatics]

Don’t use dechlorinator it kills daphnia

[@nicolerose2017]

You added crush what at the bottom? I wasn't sure the word you used?

[@duthieaquatics]

Coral, but a little bit of potting mix will help too but only a small hand full

[@themermaidslairaquatics]

It is so hard to get live daphnia cultures for the LFS's in colorado!

[@duthieaquatics]

Once you get a culture going you won’t have to replace it so definitely worth the efforts to track one down, they usually post well too.
