Raising Daphnia?

[golfhacker]

HI,


So I am thinking about starting up some Daphnia cultures. But I don't know anything about raising and breeding them. Should I get 2 different species? What size/kind of containers to raise them in? Is it better to raise indoors or outdoors? I am planning to seed my pond with them and also feed them to fish fry. WHat materials do I need for a dapnia set up? And what's a good price to pay for them. I found a few sources and the prices vary. Just wanna make sure I don't get ripped off.

Thanks

Raising Daphnia is pretty easy. You can raise them in 10 gallon aquariums outside in the sunshine. You'll have to bring them inside in the winter. Here's 2 good articles on the subject:
