Greetings from germany.
Moina are cultured in the same ponds as calanoida. They are sifted out merely. In the course of the year there dominate many different copepods types. Altogether, it should be at least 10 to 15 different types. Everyone is able to produce duration eggs.
Sometimes Cyclopoida are there, too. All are a good feed resource.
There is a white one at the moment, great afloat copepod. This tolerates extreme temperature and salt changes (converting directly of 5°C on 25° with a bill of exchange of 15 ppt on 30 ppt is no problem for him). It is unbelievable. I will send a example to Erik, too. In the ponds also live sometimes very small calanoida, these are, however, extremely severely to transport.
