I need some water fleas.
I'm trying to find some Daphnia magna (water fleas) for a project. Where can I get some? Can I collect my own from a pond or cow trough? Thank you!

If you collect pond organisms, I expect you will get many, many different species. Daphia magna are widely available for purchase, and you can find suppliers using an internet search. This page also has some good information with the name of one supplier:
