Hi I just added Daphnia to my jar, which was (by the looks of it) doing okay. But most of the daphnia died within one night and this milky stuff appeared at the top. Does anyone know what it is or what might’ve happened?
Probably a bacterial bloom. Had it cycled before adding the Daphnia? When you added them, you probably introduced another bacteria and additional nutrients to the system and it will need to balance itself out again.
