Question

What is the best light intensity for growing and reproduction of daphnia magna?

Community Answer

You can grow daphnia in almost any type of container. Always age the water in your container before adding the live daphnia culture. The pH of the water can range from 6.2 to 8.9 . Change 20% of the water at least every 2 weeks. The ideal temperature for growing daphnia is usually 72 to 85 degrees.
