Culturing of pure or dominant Moina in an earthern pond has been very difficult as copepods tend to grow and become the dominant species within a short period.
Are there any method to eliminate copepods but remain Moina? or separate copepod and Moina?
Chandravadan Trivedi
Select the phytoplankton on which only Moina feeds, but not the copepod, & then culture Moina. Once feed for copepod is not available, they will stop growing & finally disappear.

That's a new and good idea Mr. Chandravadan, can you please kindly tell me the kind of phytoplankton that can do that?
Thank you.

Dear Kelvin, the phytoplankton preference you will have to find out at your level. That is because different varieties have different likeness.
