RE: [GSAS-Member] daphnia feeding regimes?

["Mark Pearlscott" <mark@pearlscott.com>]

Chick-pea flour (a.k.a. garbanzo bean flour, or gram flour, though NOT
graham flour) works like a charm.  Don't use too much or you will foul
your culture.

On this same note, I have two kiddy pools which I am selling with
daphnia as daphnia starter cultures.  $5 each, email if interested.
