Can you sex the clown angels?

Zack,

I am getting pretty good at sexing angelfish based on what Greengirl taught me. It is still not a sure thing but very good. So single male or female or a pair? Or a group of all males? Ha:lol:

Frank - can daphnia be kept in a breeder net in a 10-20 gallon tank? If so, any recommendations on how to do this well?

Sure, daphnia can be kept in a net inside an aquarium for a week or two with no problem. You could use a fine net to keep all the daphnia in, even the small just-born ones. Or you could use a net with larger holes/mesh that would allow the smaller daphnia to go through and be eaten.

The problem with this set up is that feeding the daphnia would probably result in a mess. Daphnia eat bacteria and most anything small enough to fit in their mouth. So to get the daphnia to grow well you need to produce bacteria by feeding something like powdered fish food. Within 3 or 4 days of starting to feed the daphnia in such a set up, there would be debris or a mess inside the net. On the other hand you can keep daphnia alive by putting them in about an inch of aged water in a plastic sweaterbox with or without aeration. No filter is needed. The daphnia survive well in this sweater box for a week or two and you can feed them powdered fish food without worrying about making a mess.

Thanks for the good info... I'll hold off until I can get the fish room tidy enough to ensure the sweater-box isn't a disaster waiting to happen.

If it's not too late, may I have a bag of daphnia? Thanks in advance.
