Iow to keep them alive in a container ? Do I need a air stone ?

Boon or daphnia death rate is very rapid, even with airstone full blast.

Only way to keep them alive is to have constant supply of green water.

Fry needs constant feeding at twice a day.

I would suggest to hatch bbs, its easier to control the supply and they live longer and need to feed spirulina powder once a day.

Normally I will just throw in the whole packet of boon (50 cents) into the tank. Can last about 2 days. This saves a lot of trouble feeding. At the end of two days, I will siphon the bottom of the tank to remove the dead boon and will top up with new water. When they are older, I will throw in $1 worth.
