It grows to about 2mm, making it suitable as food for small fish. Of course, larger fish also enjoy eating it.\u003cbr\u003eThe small water flea is an excellent substitute for or addition to Artemia.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSmaller containers up to 10 liters are suitable for breeding Moina. Temperatures can range from 18°C to 30°C. It will multiply very quickly. Distilled or rainwater is suitable as water.\u003cbr\u003eHatching can take about 5 - 14 days.\u003cbr\u003ePlease start the Moina in a slightly smaller container, up to 1 liter. The starter container should hold about 1 liter. Once you can identify the small Moina, wait another week. Then they can be transferred to a larger container.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMoinas are filter feeders. They readily accept spirulina powder or dry yeast. Always dissolve in a little water and feed drop by drop. When the turbidity of the water has almost disappeared, feed a little more.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"flex flex-grow flex-col max-w-full\"\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"min-h-[20px] text-message flex flex-col items-start gap-3 whitespace-pre-wrap break-words [.text-message+\u0026amp;]:mt-5 overflow-x-auto\"\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"markdown prose w-full break-words dark:prose-invert light\"\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eMoina macrocopa is a species of water flea (Daphnia) often found in aquatic environments.
