Hopefully. I go around 9am. Mayb haven't open that y cant find
I also used to like to hunt around for LFS whenever I visit any place. It's quite fun to visit a new LFS which I have not been to.
But it's quite sad that there's not much LFS in the central area, due to high rentals and poor business in fish hobby. Even those
small ones in the outskirt areas are barely surviving. Pity the owners, as it is very discouraging due to pai tharn* and thus boh hua*.
(*hard to make, not worth it).
LIFE IS UNBEARABLE WITHOUT A FISH TANK!!!
Probably too early. XD Most LFS open after 10am except those in the market.Originally Posted by DaNny Chong
Yeah~ Some of the neighborhood LFS are just waiting for retirement... @_@ Visit them before they are gone.
Ya, Mostly used to be run by Ah Lau or maybe employ a young boy to take care of all the tasks.
Really this line is bo ho tharn*.
[*Not profitable].
Better to mass cultivate boons and deliver to LFSs islandwide, including market LFSs.
Yup.. probably the easier way out is selling live feed to have a stable income.
XD I think I going to become part-time snails culturer soon. My snails population are increasing. =X Can serve the dwarf puffer community soon.
@_@ My red ramshorn like kinda malnutrition as it has been 2weeks old yet the shell still transparent red and able to see the heart beating.
You can find boon in That
Too far from my place. Hope I can find some boons around AMK / Whampoe area.
My fish have been missing boons.
That day I think I see Boon in 181.
You can call him up 1st, owner is very helpful.

This my first time seeing my daphnia culture producing resting eggs. Probably due to cooler weather and forgot to feed them on certain days??
Bern C,
Can you share your success story on how do the culture these critters?

Heya antjoey~
=X Confidential...Just kidding...
I have tried quite a number of ways to culture them.. From feeding them with yeast, hay infusion, potting soil, making dry powder feed, DIY green water, pond water, mixture of above etc.... I ended up with them most simple & basic way... all I need are a tank, dechlorinated water, starter culture & yeast.
I think the tricky part will be starting a new culture as there's a risk that the culture will crash on the next day. Still looking into this issue.
For maintenance, I just feed them daily with yeast but try not to cloud the water. I do keep some ramshorn for tank cleaning and their poop will encourage the bacteria to grow which serve as a food source for daphnia too. I have decide to remove the snails in the future culture as I find it optional and quite troublesome when they poop too much. I rarely do water change. The culture(1.5 gallon tank) from the above video is almost 2 months old and I only did 3 cups of water change + some harvesting which drew less than 1 liter of water with the 2 months.
I also tried outdoor culture in a non airtight covered container that exposed to in direct sunlight. So the temperature could be 30 degree celsius in the day and they survived. I also find high nitrite in the cultures and they are doing well. XD They can be quite hardy or as fragile...
Hope this information helps ^_^ You can back track this thread. It's my Daphnia diary. XD
After regular feeding, my Daphnia stop producing Ephippia anymore after lots of babies seen. XD Will be stashing the Ephippia..
Great insight Bern C...will try something similar

Thank you~ ^_^ All the best~
I had harvested all the Ephippia.
There are some debris in it... gotta filter out the debris.
Good work, Bern.
Bern C.. I realised you're the person who b started the thread on where to buy boon.... Looks like you manage to solve your own dilemma... Cheers!

^_^ Thank You Shifu Ted~Good work, Bern.
XD Yeah~~ Looking forward to get a bigger daphnia sp, like Magna or Russian Red. @_@ But still can't find a good source and shipping is really quite costy to take the risk. @_@ Hahaha but Magna & RR will be too big to feed my fishes as I only keep small fishes..
Big Magna booms are great as pets, esp with their cute large 'ears' which make them look like swimming elephants as seen in one of your earlier videos.
Yeah!!! It will be nice to keep them in glass bottle or jar with some plants and keep them beside the bed. XD Can't wait to upgrade to Magna but still sourcing for it.. @_@Big Magna booms are great as pets, esp with their cute large 'ears' which make them look like swimming elephants as seen in one of your earlier videos.
Hi Bern C - wow this thread is an eye-opener!
Will you sell me a starter culture of D. pulex? Whenever you have extra stock? I browsed through the entire thread and still didn't see how you obtained your pulex - did they grow from the frozen ones?
Hi ant how's it going? Hope your riccia has flourished.
If you start some moina cultures keep us updated - I've been doing the same myself so I'm very interested!
I set up a lot of unaerated containers. Some in shade. some in sun. Some with deeper water, some with shallower. I add dirt from filter sponge to some. I add pet hay to some (there is cloudy bloom in 24-36 hrs, + smell). I use blender-ed veggies in some. All with wastewater from tank.
So far everything is not working out more than a couple of days except one bin. It has waste water, fish waste, veggie waste (cucumber, corn leaves, blender-ed stuff). It receives low intensity sunshine. It is shallow water (4-6 cm). It smells of mildly of decay, a little sweet. This one has worked the longest (1 week and going). The others don't seem to work - I think my water gets too dirty and I feed too little. I'm in the process of setting up sponge filtered tanks and intend to start a more regular feeding regime with yeast (Bake King instant yeast).
So I'm relieved. I'm keeping some apistos now and the first brood arrived a few days ago - so glad I can feed the babies this time unlike with the rams previously. They can actually fit the smaller moina into their mouths since yesterday!
