How to cultivate water fleas and what should we pay attention to?

To cultivate water fleas, first of all, we need a container with a diameter of about half a meter, which contains a proper amount of water, not too deep. After that, water fleas can be introduced, the source of water fleas can be found in the field, and the water fleas can be obtained and poured into a container. Provide light properly, which can accelerate reproduction, but avoid the rise of water temperature and add cold water in time. Also provide feed, add a little milk or flour solution, but not too much.

1. the cultivation

of water fleas requires a container, usually a water tank, with a diameter of about half a meter, so that there is enough space for it to reproduce. Of course, the bigger the water body, the better, the water quality is easy to maintain, and the oxygen content is high, so it will be more convenient to raise. However, the water should not be too deep, because the water pressure is not conducive to its survival, usually half a meter is enough.

2. Introducing water fleas

Water fleas do not appear out of thin air. We need to find the source of water fleas in the wild and then introduce them into containers. It can be seen in most of the water, as long as you look carefully and see white particles in the water, jumping around, you can be sure that it is a water flea.

3. Proper illumination

The growth of Daphnia can not be separated from sufficient illumination. If the environment is dark, its reproduction will be affected to a certain extent. Therefore, it is best to put the feeding container in a sunny place, but to avoid the water temperature rising too fast, if the water is too hot, it is necessary to add cold water to it in time.

Water fleas are more suitable for living in nutrient-rich water, that is to say, the nutrients in the water must be high enough to make it grow well. Usually, you can add a proper amount of organic matter to the water, such as milk, flour solution and so on, but do not put too much, in order to avoid the deterioration of water quality, resulting in a large number of deaths of water fleas.
