Daphnia Culture in my Bamboo Garden

This tub has wicks that pull water from the pond for the bamboo. It has been like this for several years and harvest daphnia & mosquito larvae from it regularly. Other than an occasional cleaning because of so much leaf matter falling into it, it receives no additional care.

Hello 😊 Such a neat way to water your plants and have some great food for your fish too! Do you find the shade to be a must in keeping the daphnia going?
