Are you talking about rotifers? How is your tank? Is it still green?

Culturing rotifers or daphnia is pretty simple. They feed on green water. Shawn is right. Daphnia is a freshwater organism. I culture and feed nanochloropsus (adaptable to both salt water and fresh water) to my rotifers and daphnia in open top containers.
