Thanks all for the help. Probably why they don't travel well (when bought from Trademe) when I am hearing they consume lots of Oxygen! Cheers

Hi all, I am wondering if anyone can let me know where I can obtain some Daphnia to start a culture - tried to get some up from Wellington, but they did not survive the trip. Auckland location preferred and happy to pay fair price. Many thanks

Cheers Darryl...appreciate the suggestions! :bounce:

I'd like to hope so Ira...! Sound like they are hardy little critters though :lol: Cheers

Thanks Snowman

Thanks Aquamum...a big help!

Hi again, Anyone know the correct way to set these up? My 'instructions' are all in Chinese! I have ceramic noodles, carbon, filter wool and nylon 'pot scourer' material and a plastic grate to go into this. Cheers

Again....my thanks to all for feedback and ideas. You are all a wealth of information Cheers

Good point Monaro1. I have seen them about 5mm long before and recall from my long distant youth, that they used to be sold as 'sea monkeys' in the comic books. Couldn't tell you about the nutritional value to be fair, but a colleague of mine from work who keeps seahorses does not think they have a lot. Just looking for something a little different to feed the fish..... Cheers

Many thanks to you both for the feedback. I shall put the 'recipe' to good use this weekend! Cheers

Thanks Caryl

Hi, Hopefully not too dumb a question, but can anyone please let me know how to get brine shrimp from hatchling size up to something visible to adult fish? Cheers

Hi all, Hope someone can point me in the right direction...Have just bought a Jebo R219 aquarium and all instructions are in chinese. Does anyone have any ideas on how to set up (in hood system)? I am new back into the fishkeeping biz and these weren't around 20 year ago :roll: I was supplied filter wool and nylon 'scourer pad' material and a plastic grate system. I imagine that these are like noodles and bio balls in that they will harbour the bacteria as water trickles over them? From the pictures I have, it seems that there is an intake that lifts water into the lid and through this medium and then it exits via a spray bar system onto this media and then back to the tank via a (approx) 50mm hole at the other end. What order should the above media go into the filter and is there anything else I should add to this to improve what is supplied 'standard'. So many questions...... Thanks

Again...thanks all for input. Some good ideas here for sure!

Cheers monaro1. Looks like a trip there on the weekend is in order!
