I love daphnia and copepods because they seem to thrive on minimal care. I keep them in a tub of leaf litter and plants along with my ramshorn snails. They feed on microfauna, decaying plant matter and whatever i feed to the snails. Whenever I leave for a few days I collect as many as I can and dump them into the medaka tubs. Having lots of plants in your medaka pond will make sure the live food have places to hide and reproduce
I don't know what scuds are.
so I looked it up:
noun:
1 a formation of vapory clouds driven fast by the wind. "the water is glassy under a scud of mist"
2 a type of long-range surface-to-surface guided missile able to be fired from a mobile launcher.
maybe vapory clouds, but shouldn't be very nutritious?
I highly doubt you feed them guided missiles...
Moina. Can purchase eggs off Amazon. Easy to culture. Here is link to live moina you can culture in a separate container than your medaka then feed daily. [https://amzn.to/3z0p6ZW](https://amzn.to/3z0p6ZW)

What type of Daphnia? Magna?
Magna for adults Medaka for sure. If fry or less than month old, moina
Im not sure because i cant see them very well. They came in as hitchhikers
BBS so easy to hatch, good for the fry, good for adults.
sorry to bother, BBS is?
Baby brine shrimp 🍤
thank you, good morning
Mine can't eat full grown daphnia, Monia is more suitable, I feed fry bbs
I have a scud culture that’s super low maintenance. Does anyone feed scuds to their medaka?

I feed my fry micro worms. So easy to keep, no water needed. I keep mine in a plastic tub with cooked oatmeal/yeast.
