"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!"

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 :)
