I grow dafnia/moina, cyclops sp. and ostrcoda sp. culture too.
I take a tank with about 12-15 L of water.
Add some najas guadualepensis, callitriche palustris, lemna minor. Light is important, no need very strong, plants must to grow slowly. Air pump is not a must, but it can go.
Every few days I add a pinch of dry east, spirulina powder, wheat flour and sugar. Mix it in with warm water and add to the tank.
Culture is growing well. No need to change water very often, usually I change 30% only in 2-3 weeks, with water from my planted aquarium.
If it is an open tank, like mine, it can hold and some of mosquito larvas too. My wife don’t like very much of them as they tend to fly arround at home. 😆
