It grows to about 2mm in size, making it suitable as food for small fish. Of course, larger fish also love to eat it.\u003cbr\u003e\n\tThe small water flea is an excellent substitute or addition to Artemia.\u003cbr\u003e\n\t\u003cbr\u003e\n\tSmaller 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.\u003cbr\u003e\n\tHatching can take approximately 5 - 14 days.\u003cbr\u003e\n\tPlease first set up the Moina in a slightly smaller container up to 1 liter. The initial container should hold about 1 liter. Once you see the small Moina, wait another week. Then they can be transferred to a larger container.\u003cbr\u003e\n\t\u003cbr\u003e\n\tMoinas are filter feeders. They readily consume spirulina powder or dry yeast. Always dissolve in a little water and feed drop by drop. When the cloudiness in the water has almost disappeared, feed a little more.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\t \n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\n\t\u003cdiv class=\"flex flex-grow flex-col max-w-full\"\u003e\n\n\t\t\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\" data-message-author-role=\"assistant\" data-message-id=\"d92e9ed4-0e15-4ddf-8ec3-195f8719122c\"\u003e\n\n\t\t\t\u003cdiv class=\"markdown prose w-full break-words dark:prose-invert light\"\u003e\n\n\t\t\t\t\u003cp\u003e\n\t\t\t\t\tMoina macrocopa is a species of water flea (Daphnia) often found in aquatic environments.
