Probably too much hastle to tell you the truth. Daphnia need stagnant water rich in all the things that are bad for fish. Farm yard ponds are the best place to get daphnia so that should tell you what conditions ther require.

Frozen daphnia, bloodworm and brineshrimp are just as good and in the summer, you could easily cultivate your own mosquito larvae.

Best wishes
