Frozen Daphnia

[chris]

Hi I was just woundering if anyone feeds there fry frozen daphnia, and what about bigger fish :?:

Hi Chris,

I don't know about Daphnia as we in Singapore only have 'Moina', a close relative of that.

During one of our experiments, we have found that moina has low nurtrition value as compared to artmeia (BBS). Thus, fry fed on artemia (BBS) grew much faster than those fed on moina.

Take care,
Andrew :angel

Chris, i am not sure about the price of frozen daphnia and to be honest i have not fed it to my discus.

I have just set up a few tanks to grow some brine shrimp to adult stage.
Over the last week i have been treating my discus with this live food.
The discus readily accept this new food, and are courting, spawning a lot more than before.
I highly recommend feeding live brine shrimp to discus


Cheers,
Ben
