Moina has been a staple food source for many breeders of bettas and fish in Asia since it can be used to feed the smallest of fry and fed all throughout their growing stage.
Day 3 after hatching some fry are still too small to catch and eat food such as baby brine shrimps so they may even die due to starvation and growth stunting, moina comes in all size since when they first hatch their size is usually microscopic so the smallest of fry can still catch and feed on them.
Moina also lives in freshwater so if you are feeding live food into a tank it does not foul the water since the moina rarely dies and can even start a stable natural source of food for your fish in their tanks for days or permanently by reproducing.
