Thank you for that literature. But: Yuk Fung Jaime Leong writes on Daphnia carinata and Moina australiensis. I don’t know both species. We in Europe use mostly other species of Daphnia (mainly D. pulex and some other genera, as Bosmina spec., and Moina, preferably Moina macrocopa. I know that there are some differences in ecological requirements between some species of Daphnia (and certainly Bosmina) and probably between different species of Moina. But I do not know what it amounts to in culturing them.

I did not read that longish paper; perhaps it will deal with that questions. Which species did you use, especially which species of Moina?
