Breeding Daphnia

[ChrisCook]

I bought some Daphnia on Saturday with the intention of breeding it to feed to the fish. It was in a 5 gallon tank and was left on the window sill.
This morning the tank seems empty. I trust it's all dead!
How do I breed it successfully?!

i'm not exactly sure, but i know you need green water to keep them in. I also read somehwere someone was succesful feeding them yeast.

But on some Barry White and let them be!

They need to be kept cool, they probably died from over heating, in the summer (UK) I put a tank outside and leave them to it, between them and the mosquito larvae that hatch in there the smaller fish often get good meal out of them - though in the winter they die out and have to start again in the spring.
