Daphnia magna under the Microscope

[@anonymousperson2913]

Daphnia are actually really cute, in some weird way

[@goodiethegamer7849]

I went to a lake and found like 50 of them! If u have a microscope and a lake near you you can most likely find plenty where there’s some algae!

[@couincouin3000]

their only purpose in existence is to feed fish, they are litterally called "living food", their life is so insignificant

[@ja3nnamdev404]

@@goodiethegamer7849 you have very much time to count them

[@theworthysoul]

@@couincouin3000 harsh lol, they're also great for cleaning water of algae and can be fun to watch a bit like sea monkeys

[@Wazzen563]

​@@ja3nnamdev404 "like" means they just estimated. Even if they did spend the time, so what?

[@MilciadesAndrion]

Daphnia are a popular live food in tropical and marine fish keeping. They mabe used to test the effects of toxins on an ecosystem. They are commonly used for experiements to test climate change aspects, as ultraviolet radiation (UVR) that seriously damage zooplankton species. This a great educational video.

[@Yeseo712]

I had observed this creature at school, and it was a very interesting time for me. This video brings back that memory. Good video. Thanks

[@TBTabby]

These things definitely straddle the line between cute and creepy.

[@SimonsAstronomy]

Yea

[@theproblemmustbeinyourpant5910]

Can we appreciate the use of actual decent music in the background, instead of stock muzak being played on repeat.

[@Kruegernator123]

It's amazing how you can see their blood cells too!

[@ccplinux]

These are not blood Cells. Crustaceans lack of blood Cells. The have a protein, hemocianin, to transport oxygen.

[@roniwidya1985]

Your aquarium of daphnia magnas is amazing! Keep it up!

[@mariofilippi3539]

Enjoyed the Daphnia video. Thank you.

[@umusuariodoyoutube5528]

Great music as always.

[@fredericodasilva2440]

Am I the only one who finds them horrifying? Scary looking creatures (especially their side view) but definitely fascinating.

[@SrFreakus]

I wouldn't say horrifying, just unsettling up close.

[@fredericodasilva2440]

They just look bizarre and disturbing... although I've seen worse (arachnids, fish from the abyss, etc).

[@cia3208]

Personally speaking these are one of the few creatures that genuinly scare me.

[@monicanatasha6318]

I can't thank you enough for this

[@cindygu2663]

I observed that the daphnia magna moved very fast in a jar. How are you able to setup where the daphnia magna doesn't move but is still alive? Did you take them in a shallower place?

[@sci-inspi]

You can make a very shallow slide, meaning it has very little water. You can also use a coverslip with a convex slide, which has an indent in the slide. If done carefully, you can trap them but not injure or kill them.

[@betheoneandonly]

fun fact: this is infinity mijinion species from mmx6, that the word mijinion is "mijiniko" which means daphnia

[@barbaradorritie5508]

Great video , i love it!!!

That's plankton from spongebob 😂

[@MexboroughBuildings]

Beautiful nature.

[@antonpakshin140]

Отличный обзор, отличная подача!

[@sci-inspi]

спасибо

[@JavierPerez-cp5ph]

some idea about the role of the postabdominal claw??

[@sci-inspi]

The post-abdominal claw is used to remove debris from the carapace (shell).

[@triopster2189]

These things are great

[@king-en7tm]

How to culture it plz make an easy video on culturing plz

[@skprakashms]

what did you use to magnify ?

[@sci-inspi]

Camera - Nikon D3300 Microscopes - Wards trinocular Microscope (not sure the model) - 40X, 100X, 400X, 1000X American Optical One - Ten microscope - 150X, 600X, 1500X Wolfe Stereomicroscope -10X, 30X

Good video, thanks. It was popular live food for betta splended in indonesia, I culture daphnia to feed betta fish on my pond.

[@nicolekrantz2172]

Interesting! ☺

[@sci-inspi]

Thanks!

[@nicolekrantz2172]

So they carry their eggs and they get fertilized while inside them?

[@sci-inspi]

Yes, they can also clone themselves. So those eggs could be genetic clones of their mother.

[@nicolekrantz2172]

That's Fascinating!

[@lisachang2557]

Need recc. please. Easily portable microscope to view plankton for under $200. Need usb connection to my my mac-air. Elementary school teacher. Thank you:)

[@Voltomess]

So if its only 30-40x zoom it means Daphnia is a huge monster in microscopic world...... I thought you need like 1000x zoom to see them, I'm new to microscope world I just bought one.

[@John-wb2kk]

that little green thing inside of it looks like a parasite

[@SonKunSama]

Those are it's intestines, filled with algae.

[@bears4783]

What's the song used in the video?

[@sci-inspi]

I made the song

[@bears4783]

[@sci-inspi]

Thank you!

Are you selling Daphnia Magna?

[@sci-inspi]

Sorry, I don't have any daphnia right now. You can buy from local pet stores or from scientific supplies like Carolina.com or Wardsci.com

Is it possible to see bacterias inside its body?

I think they are protozoans Bacteria are smaller. Andre they are in the water, not inside it's body

[@naomixixx_]

why is there heart on their back? Shouldn't be located in the front?

[@sci-inspi]

Some animals have organs in different places. That is how they evolved.

[@raritythefabulous]

That's actually a really big split in the animal kingdom, between the line that had organs the way we're familiar (chordates) and the other line that has everything flipped.

[@f.jideament]

It's just about the survival algorithm of evolution, I guess. It's forming every single possibility with limited sources to see which pattern works better. Seems like, for now, we are doing the best because we have no respect to other possibilities, even against to ones which from our kind.
