these tiny little crustaceans form a beautiful source of feed for fish as they are rich in protien and work as natural laxatives for the fish. I personally had success in culturing them outdoors. I used dried cowdung mixed with grounnut oil cake to turn the water green. I added urea and single super phosphate to boost up the process and left the tank for about 7 days.once i got the desired emerald green colour for my green water, i inculcated a culture of daphnia magna in the tank. in 3 days time, i got a considerable quantity of daphnia that i could feed to my entire hatchery setup.2 important things that are to be considered while culturing daphnia are that there should be no chemicals in the water to be used for culturing and the daphnia should be harvested once every 2-3 days if you dont want the culture to crash...thats all...
Just another hobbyist, sir do you have a video of your daphnia culture. i would love to see your techniques on culturing
RAJ Odyssey the culture that i set up was on experimental basis...the mistake i did was i didnt harvest in time...which led to complete anhilation of my culture...i am gonna set up a nee culture in the upcomming days...i will upload the videos and notes soon on TH-cam...
Aquarium Fish dry yeast is instant yeast...you have to activate it before feeding it to the daphnia by adding it to lukewarm water.
how is this culture?
mine have crashed after 3 days. i feed active yeast, change about 40-50% water everyday, have an aerator.
only 3 days and they crash.
Aquarium Fish the key is to grow the feed inside the container...most of the people ask you to culture daphnia in the green water which is partially right.green water is not the primary diet of daphnia.it eats the infusoria that is formed after the death of green water.yeast increases the content of carbon dioxide in the water and that might be the reason why your culture is crashing.aslo if youre using a areator stone or the flow of the areation is too high, there are possibilities that the culture would crash.
You are not just helping hobbyists, you are also helping a lot of pet shop owners. :) There's a current boom now of aquarists/fishkeepers here in the Philippines and those who have left this hobby are once again interested in fishkeeping. Keep it up! :)
Thank you.

Dexter you're a very encouraging man thank you for being a bright light for Jesus and making a difference in the lives of the people in your community
I have had studying on live fish food, specifically on daphnia since my comment on this video. A few observations i have made are as follows:
1- Daphnia will grow the best in outdoor tanks made up of cement or plastic. The larger tank, the better the results.
2- Outdoor tanks dont require areation. The phytoplanktons in green water will produce enough oxygen for the colony to survive. This stimulates the natural condition in which daphnias survive. Addition of areation only breaks the natural phenomenon of upwelling and downwelling. This hampers the reproduction rate of daphnia as they cannot stay stable for longer periods.
3- If adding a areation, make sure theres no areation stone. Not because the areation stone gets clogged due to daphnia but because the stone produces fine bubbles which get stuck under the carapace of daphnias and make them float continuously. This kills the daphnias.
3- If making a outdoor tank, theres no need for adding yeast in the culture for feed. Daphnias will feed well on zooplanktons from the greenwater. Adding yeast will only cloud the water and produce carbon dioxide.
4- Make sure you dont add any nutrients that are in the chemical form when daphnia are present in the culture. Chemicals literally kill the daphnias. In the outdoor tank, first prepare the green water 7 days prior to adding the starter culture using chemicals like urea and single super phosphate. Let the nitrogen cycle complete and the ammonia be converted to nitrates completely and let the phytoplanktons begin consuming the nitrates. Once the colour of water is completely emerald green, then add the starter culture of daphnia.
5- Make sure the water youre using is free from contaminants like filamentous algae. Filamentous algae can kill daphnia as it obstructs the movement of daphnia in the water column as it does to the fish.
Feel free to ask any queries.
There are a few more tips and tricks that i have used to enhance the growth of daphnia. Comment and ask if you want to know them.
@@flar3s539 : Please share your tips n tricks. I am keen to know. Thanks
@@seoktintee1755 please do read the conversation in the pinned comments. You will find the entire elaborate procedure. Thank you.
Hi dexter good video , I have had great success using a home made sponge filter , changing about 30% water a day treated with sodium thiosulphate to remove the chlorine ( it won't remove chloramines ) and feeding with a mixture of yeast , spirulina and soya flour .dead daphnia will still have egg sacks attached which will hatch so you can use them to start off a seperate culture ! keep up your good works great channel.
Thank you so much Gary God bless you and your loving family
sodium thiosulphate is basically a bleach solution...it has chlorine...how is it supposed to remove chlorine from the water?? thats something new to me...yes the NaHCl will kill the undesired bacteria and other live stuff from the water...but chlorine?
Just another hobbyist it’s not an original idea of mine ,just one I picked up watching TH-cam ,try searching it .what I can say is that it works as I do a 50% water change on all my tanks every week to no ill effects and we do have chlorine added in my area .
you are not thinking of sodium hyporchlorite are you ?
gary davies oh sir i am extremely sorry...i read that wrong!! my bad...extremely sorry!
I love the rock to keep the airline in the bottom of the tank. Great idea!
Dexter you have sooo many projects going on , how do you keep up with all of it ? Hats off to you sir for taking care of those in need. God Bless Kelly HLad RN from Florida
You look very tired you need to get some rest my friend.
Very fortunate to have them in your backyard!
Spirulina algae powder, chlorella algae powder & green water also work well for culturing daphnia. Some folks combine these with Brewers yeast & claim they get better yields? I really can't say though I haven't tried it.
Dexter, You seem to have mastered a process for growing fry and their food,mA to Z. Great video, thank you for sharing.
Yeast is the way to go. You can also feed powdered spirulina algae. you can find it at the health food store.
professorM ooooh helpful :))
Thank you
@professorM daphnia dosent feed on algae.it feeds on the infusoria that builds up on the dead algae and other plant stuff...so yes...in a way spriulina works...expensive though
Hello sir i have tried to culture daphna moina ever since and i have had a great success of culturing them using ripe mango or any rotten vegetables or fruit then just add green water to the set up then put daphna after 3-4 days
Hi Guys
Gr8 info Dexter.😊
Green water is water that has a green color from algae like ones you see in a koi pond or a tank water left in full sunlight which turns green. Its algae growing in water which we call green water.
I would like to add that it's best to have multiple cultures going in case 1 crashes which has happened several times for me.
I've also noticed that larger water volume the more stable the cultures become and are more successful. Small containers crash easily.
One must also monitor the amount of feeding yeast as it quickly fouls up cultures. I feed yeast every other day. Making sure that the yeast cloud is completely eaten before feeding again. That simply means when the water is clear not milky color i feed again. Best to feed early morning than evening as it could quickly fouls water as they dont eat as much.
Also if outdoors make sure and cover with fine net to prevent insects frogs and birds from preying off the culture. Be especially careful of dragonfly and larva as they drop eggs in water which hatch and eats up all daphnia. Having green water is also essential as it can suppliment feeds as I've seen if a culture is dying off i replace 100% water with green water and they population blooms back in about 1 week.
For the feeding of yeast i use dechlorinated water from tanks (dont add dechlorinator to chlorine water) which i warm and add 1/4 teaspoon of yeast and spirulina each into a small bottle with a pinch of sugar. I allow to dissolve feed when cooled. I just eye ball the mixture feeding to the cloudness of water just to slight to medium until i just partial see bottom of tank. Any excess mixture i keep in fridge for 1 week. After one week of population bloom i would do 50% water changes or 25% twice weekly if i notice water smells sour.
I harvest twice weekly like Sunday and Thursday so the cultures can breed more. I also sort the sizes and feed to various size fry from baby to adults. I usually also toss back some adults just to ensure they have breeders to continue in cultures. Good luck to all
Hope this helps.
CrowntailHalfmoon thanks for helping us. You are great!
Very good info
Kim from New Zealand
Can I use Well Water sir??
you are amazing sir. you helped me alot in my journey to start an ornamental fish farm. thank youu
Hi, Dexter! I so appreciate your video because it is much more comprehensive about daphnia care than most other videos I've seen. I culture daphnia in a 5-gallon tank on my desktop, and I struggle to keep a viable population maintained. I like that you included instructions on how to change the water in your daphnia culture. I know that's important, and it's something I do with a small aquarium vacuum covered on the end with a nylon stocking to keep from sucking the daphnia up.
Superb ...
I'm working in a pet shop jeddah saudia since 2000
But the ideas I got from ur videos I got never
Thank you dexter world so I can culture daphia now for my guppies. Thumbs up 👍👌💯
Thank you so much Dexter , I had already failed so many times to culture it. But now I know why it is.
You idea of promoting a platform is a great idea. Dexter, thank you for sharing.
Your welcome Jim.
THANK YOU so much for showing us all your hard work and giving us your advice. Thank you :¬)
The message that u give us was a wonderful insprational one'effort'
Very Good Kapayan, Thank you for this information rich video but I have a question, if I get the daphnia starter raised in Spirulina, can I proceed to culture it using dry yeast?
I ordered Daphia Magna online and shipped to me. All alive in a jar and a fish bowl. I dont have room for a tank I have large Betta bowls and jars.
I Feed them brewers yeast and spirulina crushed tablet. Have 2 jars of Daphnia in case one crashes.
Thank you for your info, I bought a picky betta only eats live moving food
I keep daphnia pulex in an outdoor tank without aeration or water changes. I only add a mixture of yeast, wheat and spirulina whenever the water becomes clear.
Mr Dexter thanks for sharing this information to all fish lovers about culturing daphnia..
GREAT TUTORIAL DEXTER THANK YOU FOR SHARING YOUR KNOWLEDGE.
Your welcome.
Wow dexter! your the best instructor i have ever heard. cheers ! please make more videos i just love to watch your channel and also i like the way you explain. cheers once again.
Great video, Dexter. Very informative. You should really publish this information; it’s educational. You are a great fish enthusiast. Looking forward to watching more of your videos.
Thank you Pushya
pinapanood ko mga vid niy po sir maraming salamat sa pag share ng mga magagandang alaga mo\
I also find that using cut grass in a sock in the water helps to propagate daphnia. It will create infusoria which the daphnia will feed on.
Thanks Queina for the suggestion.
add snails to the tank, it will help out with keeping the colony healthy !!
You are a good teacher ..sir.a very very very very good teacher...
I suggest sir that use hot water before you stir eat for easy to melt your dry yeast
Ok Bryan thanks for the suggestion.
Another helpful info. Thanks sir dex! tutorial naman kung pano mag culture ng worms for betta sa sunod 👍🏻 betta pls hahaha
Thanks so much for sharing your knowledge and wisdom Dexter. 😊
Thank you sir Dexter 👍👍👍 great video.
Almost 1 million subscribers.. Well done big boss..
I’m am so starting to understand you more an each time I look at one of your videos dude your nice 👍🏽
you can also feed spirulina flakes, grinded to powder, to your daphnia
I have normally relied upon freshwater plankton for feeding freshwater fish larva over the more popular brine shrimp and somewhat popular worm cultures. One of the nice things with them is that you really can't over feed with them. Unlike the worms and brine shrimp that can die off and pollute your aquariums if uneaten, the plankton just continue to swim around until one of the fish larva catch them and eat them. It also encourages more active hunting and chasing behavior, which from what I have seen has been good for the grow out process too.
When you collect in this manner, the daphnia are going to be a mix of large rotifers, cladocerans, copepods and clam-shrimp. They all make great foods for fish - though the copepods and clam-shrimp can end up going after small fish larva.
One trick that can be helpful when gathering them for feeding or when doing water changes. Most of them react to light sources. Either attracted to, or chased away. Most are attracted to it. If you go out when it is dark and shine a light on the edge of the culture tank - you will quickly have a large mass of food where the light hits the water. Scoop it out with the net for feeding. At the same time, you can drop a siphon hose down into the opposite corner of the tank in order to drain off some water and debris for changes.
Thanks for ur professional knowledge brother
I most say sir your videos are life because it has made me feel that there's hope for me. I would like to deeply know more
Yesss guppiesss, i used to be all bout goldfishes but now im on guppies 😂😂😂 l still love goldfishes, just dont want to keep them anymore :))
Thanks dexter shout out from texas , i used this method during the 90s brings back memries.. i remembered people from guiwan, jumbo bridge tumaga area where lots of breeders during that time.. miss zamboanga days.. Gracias amigo na videos..
ansina vox? he he keep safe always...
@@DextersWorld likewise ... onde tu banda na zambo dex?
Hi Dexter ... thank for sharing... I have learn for u a lot.. keep it up 👍
I'm breeding daphnia. They are in the same tank for 6 month now with no air pump. Even 2 month of no water change they are still alive.
Great info, Dexter. Thanks!
Hey Dexter it's very nice to watch ur videos caues now I'm breeding my gold fishes 👊bless
Dexter broo, should we cover the aquarium with any net ????
Thank you for explaining the simple way of breeding daphnia
Thank you.
Thank you sir Dexter for sharing this video about culturing daphnia...betta breeder here..
Your welcome Kev
Wow fantastic video thanks, it looks so easy. Yeast is a very good idea because once activated it is also alive of course, it's a single celled microorganism classified as a fungus so doesn't pollute the water quickly. I used to collect daphnia (magna) from the dense reed ditches between cow fields by the bucket load to feed the fish. Only little problem was that each bucket load and I couldn't collect too many or they would simply suffocate on even the short walk home, but each bucket load had an entire ecosystem in it. This of course fascinated me, I would even say thrilled me, but my fish didn't think so always. Amongst the wild daphnia there would most often be wild fish fry, small adult fish, assorted crustacean larvae, (some not palatable at all to goldfish fry),crustaceans like tiny shrimp, Amphipoda and also nasty predators and parasites like dragon fly larva lurking in there, hydra, fish lice etc. The soup of life. Cleaning large batches is difficult and risky so its advisable not to feed wild caught daphnia to your fish. Instead start a culture with some carefully screened wild daphnia, much safer. However for the lazy to facilitate a cleaner catch of Daphnia it's worth observing their habit in the wild. Try and get them from open water near the surface rather than sweeping amongst roots and mud or in deep shade. Daphnia are clever and will adjust to predator pressure by moving to the surface (vertical migration) during the night to feed on algae and then escaping to the depths to feed in the mud bacteria during the day, or exactly the opposite depending on predator habits. Taking a nice clean sweep off the surface water gets the cleanest daphnia what ever time they are there. If you do this too often, taking a great a quantity they reverse their habits. So alternate where you take them etc and still take care you dont introduce parasites, predators or wild fry which may or may not harbour diseases........at the very least wash them before feeding in clean water. If you micro manage your fish you can easily remove lice from their scales etc but in large set ups its not possible and you will have an epidemic on your hands involving some hefty, dangerous chemical treatments that need repeating.
Put Brown rice powder to feed the other crustacians so that the daphnia get other source of food
Thanks for good idea for culturing Dapnia. I'll try soon.
Add some spirulina powder or crushed flakes to your yeast mixture. It will help to culture some infusoria, and the daphnia will feed on this also.
You could add plants if you don't have air pumps they can give oxygen to those daphnias
Thank you for your time
Nice video,thank you! Maybe use a water bottle to mix your yeast with the water. Pour in the yeast and just shake. I did that to add yeast to juice to make wine.
Love from India...really inspiring videos
Salamat po sir dexter, marami po aqong natutunan sa inyo.. Lalo na sa daphnia culture.. Thnnk u you so much sir dexter God bless u.
Kala ko talaga alipunga yan kasi sobrang daming ganyan samin tuwing may baha. Thanks Sir ngayon alam ko na na "daphnia" tawag diyan 😊
Thanks for accept my request video for culturing daphnia
I liked very much of your channel. Hi from Brazil!
thanks for sharing sir dexter!
Thank you for another great video again brother Dexter thank you for the knowledge in the next step to being successful tropical fish breeder I intend to set my fish room up in about a year or so and in between Gathering up equipment testing tanks for leaks and stuff I'm educating myself through all your wisdom in your videos I can't wait to gain all the knowledge you want to share as always thank you again and God bless you and your family
Thank you so much Ted Hawk. God bless you and your family
Love your tutorial vids Dex! Can't wait for your website to be done keep up the good work!
Thanks Max
a book I read long ago said that there are no wild daphnias in the philippines. the wild "daphnias" in the country are actually moinas, similar crustaceans but smaller than the daphnias
You provide wisdom and great knowledge sir.
Thank you.
Thank you Dexter for this informative video it was exactly what I was looking for
Thank you dexter with your informative and motivational videos
Your welcome Ron
Dexter's World your welcome dexter sir
Very nicely explained .. with accurate information .. 👍
Nice and Informative video...Thanks
Just 1 thing I like to know
What ratio water change required for daily basis to culture this??
Very helpful information, you provided, thanks a lot.
Hi Mr Dexter.... Thank you so much for your video... I have a doubt which is better for feeding daphnia green water or instant dry yeast?
How many degree are u have in the tank? I'm from sweden and most time a year we need a heater...
In summer 34-38c. Or higher up to 42c
Dexter.i tried shrimp meal for them and it works fine. .yeast is good for dafnias but once you feed them to Fry's they get yeast infection here in India .
Thank you for the information . you have mentioned using yeast and cowdung in another video which is better and work well .
God bless you sir you are my teacher
God bless din Xavier
Thanks for sharing , great video👍❤️
Very interesting wow.
Everytime you've uploaded a video, I can't help myself but watches it. You're inspiring and those videos of yours are motivating me. Even though I just have mollies, rosy barbs, 1 koi because the two have died and I doesn't know the reason. And of course I have swordtails and the fries of my mollies and swordtails have died also. Don't know the reason why, maybe it's all about the water temperature.
Really great detailed video. Thanks. I saw some people using the first water you get from washing rice + pork blood as well. Though it's gross.
What about spirulina? Some people say to feed them some spirulina powder that is mixed with their tank water.
Thank you sir for sharing your knowledge
Would you do the same for water fleas? I have kept small cultures alive for at least a month without air but I do frequent water changes from aquarium water.
Hi Sir Dexter, do you have an informative video on how to hatch a catfish? The way you explain and demonstrate the daphnia culture is great...
Great video! Thank you for uploading! When will you teach us how to culture mosquito larva? Greetings from Mexico!
Another educational video, that's why I love to watch your videos.
Thank you.
You are welcome. 🙂
Great video. Just one question whats the temperature in youre tanks as you have most of them out side.Thanks and Much Love to all.😉
good evening dexter thank you once again wonderfull video , how ofter do you feed them (everyday ?)
yes everyday
Can we also provide the daphnia with spirulina powder to feed them instead of yeast powder .
Thankyou for continued support to all.
I m not getting daphnia live near by .. pls advise
You can order eggs in a capsule online.
you are amazing
Pump is just to agitate the surface water one way water gets oxygenated. So as long as you have something you can honestly use your hand if you don’t have the equipment.
Very thank you for such a knowledge
Your videos are interesting. How about a tutorial video about culturing vinegar eels from sukang tuba (coconut vinegar)?
Great video!! You have such beautiful fish!!
Thank you
Awesome. Great content + great videography :)
hi Dex. I live in cold country which is UK. I wonder if we have that daphnia here. just for curiosity, what is the water temperature? thanks
Kettering Tropang Padyak KTP It is hard to find daphnia’s in UK but Microworms can be an alternative for it.
Mainit na tubig at konting sugar po sir to activate the yeast.
