Daphnia magna, commonly known as "the water flea" is a highly nutritious live feed for freshwater aquariums, outdoor ponds, lakes or fish breeding. Adult daphnia range between the size of 2mm to 5mm. Daphnia entice feeding frenzies and are packed with proteins and other nutrients to help fish develop or improve health. They consume water borne algae, such as phytoplankton, and therefore can contribute to clearer waters while providing a sustainable food source to your fish as they reproduce.
Moina macrocopa commonly know as Moina are a very small freshwater crustaceans that make a great live food for small fish and other organisms in freshwater aquariums, outdoor ponds, lakes or for fish breeding. Moina differ from their daphnia cousins in size, as the adults are much smaller, ranging between 400 microns to 1,000 microns depending on their stage in life. Therefore they are a great live fish feeds for fish fry, fish fingerlings, finicky eaters and smaller fish. They are also algae, bacterivores and detritivores and will help provide clearer bodies of water by consuming phytoplankton and using this energy to reproduce and feed the food chain.
Greenwater is not intended for use in freshwater aquariums. Greenwater is a phytoplankton, therefore it is not intended for use in freshwater aquariums because it could bloom and cause discoloration to your aquarium water based on your nutrient levels and quality of lighting. Greenwater is intended as a feed for separate daphnia or moina systems. It is also a beneficial phytoplankton algae to inoculate outdoor ponds, lakes and waterways with, in order to provide bioremediation to the water chemistry of the body of water, as well as a continuous food source for the lowest levels of the food chain.

If you are unable to use the entire daphnia or moina product Hydralife recommends keeping the product in a separate container with good water and a slow rolling air bubbler without a diffuser so the air bubbles are large. This helps ensure the safety of you daphnia and moina. If you are unable to use the entire greenwater, you can airate it heavily and provide a decent light source to help preserve it. The greenwater will also serve as a food for your excess daphnia and moina.
