Daphnia weaning method (not proven YET)

[NoahLikesFish]

I have thought of a extremely smart way to wean fish off of pods and stuff and it works in fw too. What u do is slowly increase salt in daphnia, like mabye 5 ppm. Weaken it each time u feed make it weaker and weaker until the fish actually eats dead daphnia. Then try feeding it frozen and if it eats that try giving pellets or flake If u want
You need daphnia culture but it could work b/c you need enough daphnia to weaken it very gradually and once the daphnia are now dead from the salinity level, the fish just associate the round red ball (dead daphnia) as food (a round red ball be golden Pearl or pellet)
Doing this alongside the controversial starve method could easily wean micropredators and things off live

Interesting. Not an approach that I would have taken, but let us know how it works for you.
