It depends on the species of Daphnia you have.
And what size their young are.
For fry you would maybe looking at culturing Moina.

Daphnia, otherwise known as water fleas, are a small invertebrate that you can buy to feed to fish.

Some fish shops sell them, in the same way that they sell brine shrimp or bloodworms, but not everywhere does.
