General Info about Daphnia

Daphnia lifecycle.jpg

from Waterflea.org

Some sources quote an authority of "Leydig, 1860", or "(De Geer, 1776)(its like Degger!) ". but most list Daphnia pulex (Linnaeus, 1758)

Hunting and Breeding

this guy seems to be the Master of Daphnia hunting

more coming soon...

great article about "daphnia culturing made simple" [1]

"I hope this helps for anybody wishing to venture into daphnia production or who have had troubles in the past. Daphnia culture can be reduced to science, although for many it may still seem like magic!"

Feeding: chlorella powder and yeast


Hunting and Breeding 2

Self contained Ecosystems

It is fairly simple to set up a self contained ecosystem What you need is daphnia, some algae or a bit of pond weed and a glass jar Half fill the container with rainwater, add daphnia and algae or pond weed, seal, and place on a sunny windowledge The daphnia population with go up and down, hopefully there will always be a few individuals to start another population. Looking at the lifecycle, we can see that they have lots of ways of breeding. This versatility means as long as there is one, there is hope :)

Distributed Daphnia Domestication Program

a 10 year program(2013-2023) to

study domestication
learn about epigenetics 
support art/ists that use daphnia through a resources
learn about epigentics 
make a companion animal 



Sample 1

? -> Newcastle -> Prague -> Ljubjlana -> Zagreb -> Zürich -> Yogyakarta

Sample 2

now at I'MM_Media lab

Sample 3

brought to yogya, but spilled... maybe 1 left

Sample 4

new wild dapnia from yogya aquarium fish market, but died after 1-2 days.

Previous Workshops and Projects

Wasserfloh Zirkus

A simple participative and playful setup for children. Developed for the Create Ur World Workshop at Ars Electronica 2011

Video example recorded with hacked PS3 eye microscope

more info on the workshop description Hackteria_&_SGMK_BioCyberKidzz#DIY_Microscopy

A nice way to talk about microscopy and daphnia with children, was to let them draw and make little models of what they saw by eye and microscope. here is an example of a beautiful little sculpture...
