Mr Gumby Posted September 2, 2021 Share Posted September 2, 2021 Hi folks, I left one of my fry tanks running with just some plants and a sponge filter and it's now full of hair algae. Now I'm thinking of using it to culture some Daphnia. My question is do I clean it out or will the Daphnia eat the hair algae?? Seems a shame to waste free food if they'll eat it 😀 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
