I love it when I find a south african in this hobby putting out great quality videos.
@@duanescharneck168 much appreciate the compliment thanks so much. Can you recommend any other local channels to follow? I don't know many other local aquatic youtubers 😀
@@SimplyAquaticCT youtube.com/@droeksonfishkeeping?si=bAiQ-ZeDuUjlExej he's probably the one worth mentioning that I know of.
Great channel. Droeks on Fishkeeping also has great content
Look forward to the green water vid, always struggled to sustain my daphnia population!
Hoping this helps you 😄🙌
Thanks for explaining it so well bud 🎉
@@osamagangat3898 so glad it was helpful, thanks for the support 😀
Awesome video bud keep it up
@@derekorton8221 thanks man 💪😄
2:32 I can have red colored daphnia?! Amazing! Great video. I keep my main daphnia/scud colony in a plastic tote with a small sponge filter set on low and a heater in the winter at about 76 fahrenheit.
@@kjudestevens1519 I believe it's called Moina Magnus or something like that 😂🙌
Good video, nice and informative.
I too have a daphnia magna culture going. I have an IBC with the daphnia and 2 more IBC's growing green water. To say I have a lot of daphnia, would be an understatement.
@@peterbott1877 UNLIMITED FOOD 😂🙌
Great video
@@jonathanlopez5549 thanks 🙌
Awesome video! I need some Daphnia to clean up a green water tank I have going unintentionally 😂
@@aliciamatthews8357 always the best though, would definitely keep that culture running in a bucket outside - never know when you might need some 😂
Here did you get your daphnia from to begin your culture
@@andrewsmit9932 I got this current batch from a friend, but have seen them in local lakes and ponds frequently. I do believe in some places you'd be able to order live eggs online as well if you don't have a water source nearby.
@@SimplyAquaticCT kwl,, we just flooded out our freshwater systems by us,,,
@@andrewsmit9932 yeah this weather really has been crazy this week. My garage also took a knock and flooded in the front 😔
Hi Tristan, awesome video! I was wondering whether you sell starter daphnia cultures? I am based in Paarl... would love to purchase some eggs or starter culture if you can spare some?
