With its easy cultivation process and appeal to even the most discerning eaters, this product ensures your aquatic environment thrives with life. ## Description Daphnia are small aquatic crustaceans that reach about 5mm in size, and are an excellent food source for aquatic pets, especially picky eaters! They are an excellent live food for freshwater tanks and will not pollute your tank’s water. The following lists the primary processes of how we maintain our Daphnia culture: ●Maintenance: ○Water Changes performed at least every other day replacing at least 50% of the water. ○Siphoning the bottom of tank or container that the Daphnia are living in as the food you feed them will collect down there. ○We use aged water rather than aquarium water (due to the possibility of bacteria in our aquariums that could spread to customers--if you don’t plan on selling, you can certainly use your own aquarium water). ■Note: do not use plain freshwater or freshwater that has been treated with Prime as this can kill the culture. ●Feeding: ○We feed them Brewer’s Yeast once a day. It’s time to feed them when the water is clear. If the water isn’t clearing in a couple of days at most, you are likely overfeeding them. ○We use a brine shrimp net to filter out the bigger particles of yeast when feeding (hold the net over the culture and pour the yeast mixture into it). ○Combine the yeast in a small container with aged water or aquarium water. Mix well. ■We don’t actually use a ratio of yeast to water, but will feed until we can no longer see the bottom of the Daphnia container. ■Start small and add more yeast as needed to meet the above specification. ●Additional Tips: ○Avoid having only one culture. It’s safer to maintain at least 2 in the event that the one crashes. It’s very common that cultures crash. ○More volume of water is better for the survival of the culture (we keep ours in 20+ gallon tanks and containers). ○Not necessary, but helpful: ■Lightly aerated water, in our experience, has promoted Daphnia reproduction. ## Features - Excellent source of food for your aquatic pets. - Will not foul your water. - Great for picky eaters. - Easy to culture. - 3-4 pounds of water teeming with life! ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B07YRDB58L | | ASIN | B07YRDB58L | | Additional Features | Live, unique aquatic crustacean food source | | Age Range Description | All Life Stages | | Animal Food Diet Type | Raw | | Best Sellers Rank | #245,871 in Pet Supplies ( See Top 100 in Pet Supplies ) #2,100 in Aquarium Fish Food | | Brand Name | Live Daphnia | | Breed Recommendation | Small Breeds | | Container Type | Can | | Customer Reviews | 3.8 3.8 out of 5 stars (33) | | Date First Available | October 6, 2019 | | Dog Breed Size | Small | | Flavor | Shrimp | | Item Form | Individual | | Manufacturer | Daphnia | | Manufacturer | Daphnia | | Number of Items | 1 | | Occasion | Birthday | | Product Benefits | Nutritious and appealing food source for aquatic pets, especially picky eaters. | | Recommended Uses For Product | Feeding aquatic pets, specifically fish and shrimp | | Special Ingredients | Daphnia | | Specific Uses For Product | Feeding aquatic animals | | Target Species | Fish | | UPC | 689249056469 | | Unit Count | 500 Count | ## Product Details - **Age Range (Description):** All Life Stages - **Brand:** Live Daphnia - **Flavor:** Shrimp - **Item Form:** Individual - **Specific Uses For Product:** Feeding aquatic animals ## Images ![500 Magna - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/8144VoJc5AL.jpg) ## Frequently Bought Together - Live Daphnia 500 Magna - Critters Direct Live Freshwater Scuds (gammarus, sp) Qty-100 --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.om/products/160962193-500-magna](https://www.desertcart.com.om/products/160962193-500-magna) --- *Product available on Desertcart Oman* *Store origin: OM* *Last updated: 2026-09-07*
