Hey I was wondering if "Lee's net breeder" will work as a daphnia cage for Daphnia pulex. If anyone knows if the holes are two big and they can swim through or anything about it, because I was looking into getting one online. (I am not sure the daphnia species is pulex but it is either that or another similarly sized species from my reading)
Or if someone has a better method for constructing a daphnia cage that would be cool.
I want to raise daphnia in my tank but they get eaten or sucked into the filter intake if if place them directly into the tank.
If another net breeder works that would be great to know also.
I do have other cultures of them going, but I would like to keep some in the tank because of their effectiveness as filter feeders.
Thanks for any advice, links would be helpful also if you find anything.
