  • Daphnia dancing through the water, and doing cartwheels on a leaf. Daphnia are also known as water fleas, and they make an excellent live food for small fish. The species seen here is probably Daphnia pulex, but it might also be Daphnia magna. Daphnia pulex is smaller and works better for feeding baby fish. Both species are relatively easy to culture using green water as their food source.

    Cool! I'm afraid to invite them into my aqurium. Have you heard of the father fish method?

    • @TheDave333
      @TheDave333  6 місяців тому +1

      Yes, I've heard of his method, and his approach to keeping fish has a solid foundation in biology. I really like his all natural / let Mother Nature do the work approach. . . However, introducing wild materials such as pond water and pond muck into your aquarium can also introduce pests that might hurt your fish. The most dangerous of these possible introductions is the dragonfly and damselfly larvae. So, be very careful when introducing "wild things" to your tank. I've heard of dragonfly larvae taking out an entire tank of fish and shrimp. . .
      Nonetheless, in an aquarium with fish, most of the small invertebrates that you introduce (daphnia, cyclops, etc.) will quickly be eaten by the fish. And in a mature fully-cycled aquarium there's really no need to add materials from an outdoor body of water.

      @@TheDave333 I agree. I almost started a father fish tank but he suggested that you Starr it reserection jar with getting the bottom of Lake and plants and put it in a jar to feed your fish. I did the experiment and I had all kinds of stuff in that jar. I had no idea what it was but I threw it away and decided to do my tanks as he calls a sterile tank in a box. My fish are happy. Healthy and in a clean environment so I guess that is best. I noticed in one of your videos you fed your angelfish fry white woms . I've searched videos and they say to store the culture @ 60 degrees. I couldn't keep them at that temperature in Florida. I don't have basement, is there a way that you know of to culture them without that temperature?

    • @TheDave333
      @TheDave333  6 місяців тому +1

      One of the things I love about this hobby is that there are so many different ways to approach fish keeping. We each have our own preferences for how we'd like our tanks to look. As long as the fish are happy and healthy, then there is no right or wrong. The well-being of the fish should always come first rather than our own personal tastes and preferences.
      I lost my white worm cultures a few months ago due to excessive heat. . . A tiny mini fridge would be a good place to keep the worms in the tropical heat. You can find little ones for under a hundred dollars. I used to live just south of Miami, so I understand your temperature issues all too well. 😊

    • @TheDave333
      @TheDave333  6 місяців тому +1

      Hi there !😊 I sometimes put mosquito larvae in the fridge to slow down their development. It doesn't harm them. But with daphnia cooling their water in the fridge will signal to them that winter is approaching. Then, they'll change their reproductive strategy, and instead of having babies, they will start producing resting/winter eggs (ephippia) that won't hatch for several moths. Essentially, in cold water they stop making babies, and start making eggs instead.
