WTB daphnia >$10

[fishcraziee]

I want to buy daphnia for under $10 including shipping... If this is impossible I may be able to raise it to uhhhh $15? Yea I'm just trying to start aculture. I have a swaeter box with holes in the lid to let them breathe but small so nothing "unwanted" can come in. Well I'm just looking for daphnia thats $10 or less... Last thing that may not make anyone want to sell to me............... I gotta pay in cash . I gotta pay in cash cause I'm 14 and its the only way I can...( unsupportive parents...). Yea so if anyone would be sooooooooo kind as to sell daphnia for $10 or under includding shipping I'll buy!!!*SUPERSMIL *SUPERSMIL *SUPERSMIL

what is daphnia???
Who knows, maybe I have some..

 

[fishcraziee]

Oh daphnia are little creatures that fish love to eat. Uhhh they are also called water fleas and are a whitish, pinkish, greenish color depending on what they are fed. Also they move around in the water by "hopping" hence the name water fleas.*SUPERSMIL *SUPERSMIL *SUPERSMIL

 

[oscarowner559]

the ones in ponds??

 

[fishcraziee]

Yea I think... You can find them in almost any body of water... You can see what they look like on google just click/check here . HTH well actually it will help me soooo.....*SUPERSMIL *SUPERSMIL *SUPERSMIL

 

[oscarowner559]

you are going to buy those??Why dont u just catch them yourself??

 

[oscarowner559]

Heck, if you insist, I can catch you some and sell them to you for 10 dollars, how many do you want??

 

[Lotus]

Aquabid.com has a couple of auctions for them for $5 plus $6 shipping (total $11). Check under live foods.

 

[fishcraziee]

I can't exactly catch any because there are no ponds, lakes, streams near here. I can go to irvine and get some there but its a hassle for me.... Oh oscarowner559 are you sure they are daphnia? If so I'll probably buy some from you. Oh and on aquabid I really can't pay with anything besides cash sooooo I can't really buy from there... unless they accept cash which I haven't seen so far on the payment methods....*SUPERSMIL *SUPERSMIL *SUPERSMIL
edit-oscarowner559 I'll probably take 100-400 anywhere between is fine.

 

[oscarowner559]

k, are they just those water bugs that jet across the water in ponds, if so..we have a deal..

 

[fishcraziee]

If they look like the animals in the pictures at google I guess we do have a deal. So if the deal is on I'll send you the $10 tomorrow cause its night here and...... don't know about you...*SUPERSMIL *SUPERSMIL *SUPERSMIL

i could be wrong, but i believe daphnia live under water, they dont skim across the top...those are some other sort of critters

With the payment, you could probably do a money order. The post office and a lot of supermarkets sell them. Basically you give them cash and they write a check. It costs under a dollar, usually. A lot of people on Aquabid and eBay sell these things every week, and would probably be willing to wait for you to send them a money order. You can always e-mail them and ask

 

[fishcraziee]

Yea daphnia do live underwater the ones that live on top of water are pond skaters( really cool bugs!!! Ever kept one b4? If you do keep it covered and drop in bugs every couple of days. They'll rush over to it and start sucking the life out of it!!! REALLY COOL!!!) Oh oscarowner559 if they are daphnia PM me about it and please explain shipping methods... I still don't understand how ppl ship.....*SUPERSMIL *SUPERSMIL *SUPERSMIL

 

[fishcraziee]

Oh Lotus sorry I must have skipped your post... If all else fails as in oscar can't send it I'll go with your idea you helped me out sooo much already and I'm willing to take all of your advice. I never used money order because I thought it was just a check... I thought you had to go get a bank account and buy money orders like you buy checks... Live and Learn I guess!!! Thx for all the help!!!*SUPERSMIL *SUPERSMIL *SUPERSMIL

 

[fishcraziee]

If oscarowner559 can't get the daphnia which kind of daphnia should I buy? Magna or Pulex??? Oh the daphnia are for dwarf puffers!!! I read they can eat magna but have to snap them in half? Maybe I can keep a swarm of them in my tank and they will have babies and supply food for my dwarf puffers. Thx for all the help!!!!*SUPERSMIL *SUPERSMIL *SUPERSMIL

 

[oscarowner559]

Oh yeah, they arent daphnia, sorry..check aquabid, they are a good website...I wanted to check if they were really daphnia before you got your hopes up..sorry.I would not send you a fake item you didnt want, so I am telling you they are not daphnia..I could have to rip you off..some people would, but I WOULDN'T

 

[fishcraziee]

Well thx anyways. I maybe getting some from drexel from dwarfpuffers.com. Also don't worry about it its no big deal!!! *SUPERSMIL *SUPERSMIL *SUPERSMIL
