Daphnia magna, commonly known as Daphnia are a popular and great livefood for fish and other organisms. They are also an excellent addition to outdoor ponds and aquatic ecosystems. Adult Daphnia are range between the size of 2mm to 5mm which is about the size of a small fish food pellet. Daphnia drive fish into a feeding frenzy, especially after your fish have been exposed to a couple of feedings. Daphnia is a highly nutritious live feed for fish and other organisms.
Hydralife only grows our daphnia from the highest quality live and prepared foods to ensure your Daphnia provide the greatest level of nutrition to your fish. In home freshwater aquariums, Daphnia make feeding fish exciting and provide great nutrition.
In outdoor ponds, Daphnia have the potential to seed themselves in the ecosystem and therefore provide a sustainable food source for your fish or other inhabitants. They feed off of water borne algae and will help inhibit phytoplankton blooms for clearer water in your pond. They also feed on insect larval which reduces misquitos and other types of bugs.
For fish breeders, Daphnia can be key to raising fish fry and fingerlings to adulthood. Their swimming motion naturally entices fish to hunt and feed and they have a high level of protein and variety of minerals to develop newly hatched and young fish. Overall, Daphnia have many great characterists that make it a great live feed for freshwater fish in aquariums, seeding outdoor ponds and providing food to fish fry in fish breeding facilities.
Moina macrocopa commonly known as Moina or water fleas are very small freshwater crustaceans that make a great live food for fish and other organisms in freshwater aquariums, outdoor ponds or fish breeding facilities. They differ from their cousins, Daphnia, as adults are much smaller in size, ranging between 400 microns to 1,000 microns depending on their stage of life. Therefore they are a great feed for fish fry, fish fingerlings, finiky eaters and smaller fish.
In ponds or waterways, they will feed off the phytoplankton and filter feed the water to help control algae blooms. Moina will do the same in aquariums, however they usually fall prey to the inhabitants of the fish tank. When unthreatened by predation Moina reproduce prolifically and can be grown easily if one chooses to do so.
The Hydralife Institute grows all our Moina in a closed indoor facility free of pathagens and external contaminents. We use a balance of the finest blend of live foods to provide aquarist, breeders and pond keepers with the highest quality and most nutritious Moina in all stages of their life cycle. Our well populated jars provide aquarists with ample amounts of Moina for feeding, starting cultures or seeding ponds and we continually seek to improve our methods and techniques to always improve the satisfaction of our customers and the animals and algae we care for. Overall, Moina make an excellent live feed for fish and other organisms and a great addition to aquatic ecosystems.
