ANyone got any ideas on Breeding Daphnia as live food. I understand the pro's and con's of feeding live food, and was wondering if this was a relatively safe alternative.

Has anyone done this, and if so any bad experiences?

cheers

For several years I did breed Moina macrocopa (a japanese species of daphnia). They were quite easy to keep and breed at a temperature around 20-22°C.

You might try a killie forum if you want to find them - they're supposedly quite popular there.
