Day two of asking for full bearded dragon care guide❤❤❤

woah

Dear Joel: OK, I’ve been proceeding from several, false assumptions, so I did some research, once I realized that the algae you are culturing is marine. Phytoplankton, also known as microalgae, are buoyant and float in the upper part of the ocean, where sunlight penetrates the water. “Green water” is the water held in soil and available to plants. It is the largest freshwater resource but can only be used in situ, by plants. Freshwater ponds turn green, due to an abundance of algae. There are several thousand different species of algae belonging to several different taxonomic groups, but most freshwater algae belong to the green algae group. So, Daphnia magna can only consume free-floating microbes (especially what, in the hobby, is mistakenly called “green water.”) Daphnia would not tolerate the introduction of phytoplankton, as the saline would kill them. I appreciate you producing this, descriptive and fascinating video, on culturing phytoplankton. However, what I’m trying to do is culture freshwater, free-floating algae, to feed to my Daphnia magna. Whenever I accomplish this, by setting buckets of water, outside, in warm weather (with some nutrient), I am able to get an explosion of Daphnia magna. When unavailable, spirulina powder (in solution) and brewer's yeast, keep daphnia cultures going. Thank you, for all you do, for the FishFam Community. Sincerely, E. J. Brinegar
