As in fresh water daphnia?

If so, freshwater items typically don't contain the nutrients that marine animals require.

Yes as in fresh water daphnia...
I thought as an addition to the brine, mysis etc....
No????

I'm sure it won't do any harm as an occasional treat but I wouldn't base my feeding regiment on them.

I took some lessons in a Cessna and a Champ tail dragger...

I have flown mainly Cessnas with a few others thrown in for a treat.

Most recently, I have flown powered parachutes....a much cheaper alternative and a bit more fun though limited in their utility.

That sounds like a blast!
Most of the pilots I know thought I was crazy for
wanting to do anything with a parachute...
Why jump out a perfectly good plane?
