Default Re: WTB: Daphnia magna or Monia

Wowee, anybody have Hikari Daphnia "resurrect" from frozen? I went to the pond next door today and harvested some pond water naively imagining I was going to harvest some Daphnia. Everybody does this right? Has great ideas on paper that are stuuupid in execution? Anyway, I may have harvested some Daphnia, but I harvested so much other flora and fauna I'm afraid to get the sample close to my aquarium!

Instead, I filled up a 2-liter soda bottle and dropped in various cubes of Daphnia containing frozen fish food I had on hand. I have my magnifying glass ready! Another crazy idea?

I guess some of them survive the freezing process and come back to life. If you cant find some you might try that.
