As title says, I didn't think too much and added a lot of daphnia to a 60l cube (y'know that standard bag most lfs have), in this 60l cube are around 6 celestial pearl danio plus fry. Normally in other tanks a whole bag is a good thing.

Is there likely to be any harm from just letting the daphnia take a hold in tank? Most of the daphnia are too big for CPD mouths, and there are literally thousands of daphnia flicking about.

Yep, 6,000 daphnia, 6 celestial pearl danios.

Daphnia will be fine.

You just need some more, and larger, hungry mouths to feed :D
 
Yeah, typically I just wanted a species tank. Lots of them have died anyway, I suspect this will be a good food source for some time. I ended up syphoning out mmost of them and shared between other tanks.
