Daphnia in betta tank

[TanCH]

Hi guys, i am currently having some successful spawn in my 3ft betta rubra tank. The tank only consist of 1 pair of rubra and their fries (Fries are around 2 weeks old). My question is, will my adult rubra feel stress if i pour the packet of daphnia into the tank?

Hi TanCH,

I think the pair will also gobble up the daphnia. That was what happen to my betta spawn. The male ate it too,along with his fries.

Hi zoid,

But it seems that those daphnia are so small for them. They are even smaller than the pupil of the adult..

No worries,they will still be able to consume it. Breeder in thailand,feed their adult spawning pair with daphnia.

I've tried feeding my adult betta with daphnia and they ate it.. However and nevertheless, do rinse your daphnia with coffee filter.
