Can you briefly summarize how you are raising your daphnia? I have
tried twice, the first time they didn't die, but they didn't multiply
either. The second time they expired quickly. I was raising them in old
aquarium water in an unused fish box outdoors in partial shade (I live
in San Jose, CA,USA). What temp range can they tolerate? TIA.
