Jump‑start your microfauna ecosystem with Puffer Pantry’s Live Daphnia, a clean, active, and reliable culture grown with intention and care. Daphnia are one of the most beloved live foods in the hobby — gentle, self‑regulating, and endlessly beneficial for all kinds of fish, shrimp, fry, and planted tanks.
Cultured in my solar‑powered microfauna farm, grown with the same care I give my own tanks for freshness and quality you can see.
These Daphnia are raised on a balanced diet of live, home-cultured phytoplankton (Chlorella + Tetraselmis), yeast, and trace minerals to ensure strong reproduction and long‑term stability. Whether you’re feeding fish, enriching a shrimp tank, or starting your own continuous culture, these little water fleas are ready to thrive.

What They’re Great For
- Conditioning breeders
- Supporting scuds & copepods
- Feeding fry of all species
- Enriching shrimp tanks
- Creating stable microfauna ecosystems
- Natural water polishing
- Low‑maintenance live food production

What You’ll Receive
Choose your culture size:
4oz Starter Culture – great for feeding and culturing
8oz Larger Culture – ideal for multiple tanks or fast production
Each portion includes a healthy mix of adult, juvenile, and baby Daphnia, harvested fresh from my solar‑powered microfauna farm and bottled to order to ensure peak vitality on arrival.

How to Keep Them Thriving

For Feeding Tanks
- Add a small scoop directly to your aquarium
- Safe for all freshwater species
- They self‑regulate and won’t overpopulate

For Culturing
- Use a clean container (1–5 gallons)
- Provide gentle aeration
- Feed sparingly with live phytoplankton, spirulina powder or yeast
- Perform small water changes weekly
- Keep out of direct, harsh light
Daphnia reproduce quickly when conditions are stable — most cultures double every few days.

Storage & Care
- Do not refrigerate
- Keep at room temperature
- Avoid overfeeding (cloudy water = too much food)
- Top off evaporated water with seasoned or aged water

Our Quality Promise
Puffer Pantry cultures are solar‑farmed, small‑batch grown, and handled with care from start to finish. If your Daphnia arrive anything less than lively and healthy, message me and I’ll make it right. Your critters deserve the best — and so do you.
