ryanjury Posted December 6, 2008 Report Share Posted December 6, 2008 When they can fit it in their mouths they can eat it What have you bred? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simian Posted December 8, 2008 Report Share Posted December 8, 2008 Chuck in some big fat Daphnia, even if they cant eat the big ones they can eat the new born daphnia when they drop. Nice snack for them before meal times. 8) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jc360 Posted December 9, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 9, 2008 Shot, but can't the big ones attack the fry??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryanjury Posted December 9, 2008 Report Share Posted December 9, 2008 I always thought that daphnia fed on algae and stuff in the water and would be no threat to fry.. Unless of course you introduce nasties like hydra or anything like that.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simian Posted December 9, 2008 Report Share Posted December 9, 2008 Shot, but can't the big ones attack the fry??? Damm I want some of your Daphnia, they must be HUGE! I only have small ones :oops: Daphnia envy :oops: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke* Posted December 9, 2008 Report Share Posted December 9, 2008 Shot, but can't the big ones attack the fry??? nope. sim's right put some in and they'll breed and the fry will eat them. just make sure they don't die and pollute the water.

jc360 Posted December 10, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 10, 2008 done, little ones were eaten quickly, the bigger ones to big to eat but no obvious harm to fry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
