What are Moina?
Moina
are small freshwater cladoceran crustaceans commonly called “water fleas.” This common name is the result not only of their size, but their short, jerky hopping movement in water. The genera
Daphnia
and
Moina
are closely related. They occur throughout the world and are collectively known as daphnia.
What do Moina eat?
Moina
feed on various groups of bacteria, yeast, phytoplankton, and detritus (decaying organic matter). Bacterial and fungal cells rank high in food value. Populations of
Moina
grow most rapidly in the presence of adequate amounts of bacterial and yeast cells as well as phytoplankton.
Moina
are one of the few zooplankton which can utilize the blue-green algae
Microcystis aeruginosa
. Both plant and animal detritus may provide energy for the growth and reproduction of
Moina
. The food value of detritus depends on its origin and diminishes with the age of the detritus.
A great live food for fish, and fry!
Total refund available if dead on arrival (DoA) within 2 hours of package delivery time with video.
