Re: orange group

[David Sanchez <barbax2@yahoo.com>]

Eric I have been growing Daphnia for a few of years
now and the one thing I have learned about them is how
tough they actualy are. Old dirty fish water is
nutrient rich and would be beneficial in as far as it
would be a ghreat meduim for growing greenwater.
Perhaps you could use this water to seed some
greenwater and then use the greenwater as a feed.
Daphnia are filter feeders and I feed mine almost
excusivly greenwater. I also feed a mix of frozen peas
and carrots that I mix in a blender but this i feed to
a booming culture and then only sparingly. Good luck
