Adrienne Posted July 20, 2007 Report Share Posted July 20, 2007 Don't have any but wouldn't mind one either. Only an outside pond (small) with mozzie lavae in it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caryl Posted July 20, 2007 Report Share Posted July 20, 2007 If they share it will no longer be a secret It may be a little cool for them at this time of year. Although it might differ in Auckland, down here they die off at this time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Rimbauer Posted July 21, 2007 Report Share Posted July 21, 2007 My daphnia tub in the back yard is teeming with small daphnia when I looked this afternoon. BArrie - if you're in the Waiuku area you're welcome to help yourself to some. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HummingBird Posted July 21, 2007 Report Share Posted July 21, 2007 I've got a couple of cultures that are sort of on the brink, think it's too cold for them atm. Haven't harvested in about a month. When mine are up and running again you're welcome to some. I feed mine yeast. What does everyone else feed theirs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Rimbauer Posted July 21, 2007 Report Share Posted July 21, 2007 The best one (that I've had running the longest) gets a handful of freshly pulled up grass if it looks too clear. And a bit of fish tank water from waterchanges every 2 months if it's lucky. The ones I actually tended carefully don't do so well. Strange huh?
