do the triops eat the daphnia?

Yes and there are thousands. Best bet is to separate the daphnia quickly. It's impossible to keep up with the triops. You can identify the daphnia by looking for their quick, purposeful movement. Almost like they're jumping through the water.

They might, but the daphnia are so small, they are a better source of food for brine shrimp, which will in turn be eaten by the triops. I would recommend just buying some brine shrimp or sea monkeys, and those will be a lot easier to see, and the triops will definitely eat them. They are also cheaper then the daphnia. Hope this helps.

YES, with voracity! The best way to get only daphnia is to buy live ones, if you can find them.

I don't know. I would say they would have to be the larger goldfish; A 3 inch goldfish may not be able to handle the size of the fish food I give my koi.

I have three african dwarf frogs and a couple of amano shrimp and they all seem quite happy. I did have to get a heater though, since this does not come with one.

I don't know about DE or PA but here in CO I wouldn't leave my 2 fish in it. They enjoy the winter inside in my cold water cube aquarium together with the White Cloud Mountain minnows who might get to enjoy the summer outside next year. The small water lily tubers and other water plants in the meantime rest in the garage on medium temp heating pads in buckets.

No. This bacterium is selectively toxic to most moth and butterfly larvae (caterpillars). It will control the following leaf eating worms: redhumped caterpillar, bagworm, spring cankerworm, fall cankerworm, gypsy moths (when they are young), tent caterpillar, Elm spanworm, fall webworm, redbanded leafroller, tufted apple budmoth, variegated leafroller, fruit tree leafroller, omnivorus leafroller, grape leaf roller, cabbage looper, imported cabbage worm, green cloverworm, diamondback moth, tomato hornworm, tomato fruitworm (supression only), filbert leafroller, roughskinned cutworm, citrus cutworm, and rindworm complex on watermelons.

Dear Mr. Sullivan,No, they will not. In fact, they will help to keep the tank free of tiny bits of food th livebearers may have missed.

Hi there, I keep these with guppies and dwarf shrimp. I have never kept them with frogs, but they get along great with the guppies and dwarf shrimp.- InvertObsession

Hello! In my experience, when i got this shrimps i had a thank with a 5 inchs pleco, 2 loaches botias and other fishes, and they were fine, after 2 months they breed, and i had no problems. The babys growed fine. Later i got a couple of African Frogs... and man.. bad choice. They were like ice cream for them. :( Plecos and Loaches are fine, but don´t think about put frogs or turtles in a tank with srhimps :D

it's pretty simple, esp. if you have a green-water culture to feed them. If you're not maintaining a large culture, you can also use a bottle of invert food for reef tanks from your local pet store. they are opportunistic filter feeders and will feed on nearly anything that's small enough, but if you're raising them as fish / fry food, what you feed them has a large effect on the nutrition they provide. read http://web.cecs.pdx.edu/~davidr/discus/articles/daphnia.html for more info, and googleing daphnia culture techniques will also help. If you don't have much experience with them, you may be better off getting a live culture rather than eggs to start, as the eggs also have triops and fairy shrimp eggs mixed in, and if you don't recognize and remove he triops that hatch first, they will eat the daphnia as soon as they hatch. live cultures, food for them, etc. can be found at Florida Aqua farms, lfs cultures, and carolina scientific supply. I'd recommend florida aqua farms, and get some roti-rich food as well. If you want to maintain a culture long-term, also get a starter of nanochlopropsis algae and some algae-grow to provide a food source for the dapnia that can be supplemented with one of the marine invert foods like kent marine microvert for a hign nutritional profile. If you mainly want aa fry food, get dapnia pulex or moina, not daphnia magna - if you mainly want to feed adult fish, daphnia magna are great. http://florida-aqua-farms.com/product-category/store/live-cultures/ http://www.lfscultures.com/cultures.html http://www.amazon.com/Kent-Marine-MicroVert-8-ounce-Bottle/dp/B00027ZV6E/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1364209494&sr=8-2&keywords=microvert

Yes those are the party ANTIMALS -- they are swimming in a drunken stupor and are way beyond any 12 step rehab program. I noticed many floating around in the bait (not moving). Just add more quarter size puddles every day or so and the ants will feast on the bait, some will go home with the bait others will remain in the liquid.

I can't say for certain, but I would guess not. For more information I would go to the Tetra web site.

We added one of ours that grew very large to our freshwater tanks and he did just fine until we added a crawfish... the crawfish ate him. be careful of other fish that might eat him.

No! They eat fish waste, food and algae. I have them in 3 tanks including my goldfish tank that has low light.

Not that I know of, but there are other snails that will kill them. Assassin snails, Columbian Ramshorns, and some Apple snails will prey on Ramshorns.

It should take anywhere from 12 to 24 hours for the daphnia to hatch, depending on water temperature and light. The daphnia wont be noticeable for probably another 3 days after that. Hope this helps.

Yes. They are smaller than European night crawlers and not suitable for use as fishing bait. I have had both, and these red wigglers seem to eat more/faster and they reproduce faster.
