Hi,
i'm doing a study on the effect of diet on convict cichlid coloration in school, and i'm still just in the designing stages. i figured i'd feed them with daphnia, that was fed with infusia. The media/food of the infusia will be the variable, and as the infusia is obviosuly too small for adult convicts, i thought i would culture daphnia on them as an intermediary. i just wanted to make sure that the daphnia would be the right size for the convict chiclids, or if anyone had any ideas of an easily culturable food large enough to be eaten by adult convict cichlids, but small enough to be easily cultured on infusia. Your help is greatly appreciated.
