Moina are tiny freshwater crustaceans similar to Daphnia Magna but significantly smaller, making them an exceptional live food for newborn fish fry and nano aquarium species. Packed with protein and naturally free-swimming, Moina trigger instinctive feeding behaviors and promote rapid, healthy growth in baby fish. Their small size (0.4mm–2mm) makes them ideal for species that can’t handle larger prey in early development stages.
Each 16 oz live culture contains 100+ active Moina
Temperature: 65°F–78°F (18°C–26°C)
pH Range: 6.5–8.5
Container: Food-safe plastic or glass (1+ gallon recommended for long-term culture)
Water Type: Dechlorinated tap water or aged aquarium water
Daphnia feed on suspended particles and microorganisms. Provide:
Green Water (live algae) – Ideal food source
Yeast Solution: 1 small pinch in 1 cup of water, stirred well, then add drops as needed
Spirulina Powder: A tiny pinch in water once every 1–2 days
Store away from direct sunlight but in a bright area (natural or artificial light is helpful)
Avoid all soaps, detergents, and untreated tap water
Can be maintained indoors or outdoors (shade required for outdoor tubs)
Aeration: Gentle bubbling with an airline improves survival and reproduction
Water Changes: Replace 25–50% with aged water weekly
Harvesting: Use a fine mesh net or turkey baster to collect Daphnia for feeding
Reproduction: Under good conditions, they double every 2–3 days
