2:32 I can have red colored daphnia?! Amazing! Great video. I keep my main daphnia/scud colony in a plastic tote with a small sponge filter set on low and a heater in the winter at about 76 fahrenheit.

Good video, nice and informative. I too have a daphnia magna culture going. I have an IBC with the daphnia and 2 more IBC's growing green water. To say I have a lot of daphnia, would be an understatement.
