A friend of mine had set up large buckets that has a lot of live daphnia and throughout summer he provides me free daily live daphnia.
If I feed my fishes everyday live daphnia , do I need to expect any issue with this type of food? Is live daphnia good source of food for my fishes?
Is it safe to give them live daphnia everyday?
sometimes the-live daphnia stay on the water surface for longer time as the fishes become full and they eat them later in the day. I asssume that daphnia is not going to pollute my tank water as they are alive. Right?
also, I turn off thewater pump and instead turn on the air stone so that the daphnia is not sucked up in the filter. I turn on thewater pump only when all daphnia are eaten.
I would appreciate your insight
