I doubt you would easily find daphnia for collection in Mumbai. You could try the Bandra Talao or if that fails then Sweet home aquarium opp has live Daphnia 
Did you use the decap brine I gave Isaac ? |

I happened to collect it today from isaac uncle. Not used it as of now but thank you. I am certain there exist a place to collect daphnia within mumbai vicinity. As with my tetra project i happened to get in touch with people who do the same and collect daphnia from areas well within reach and tons of them. The however don't disclose the location. Those fellows opposite bandra talao are arrogant had dealt with them once and that would be my last  . |

I think it would be best to buy once and then culture it using green water. That way you could be certain that they are disease free. Also collecting from a pond, you might collect some other bugs and pests. Maybe Powai lake is an option as a collection source or somewhere in Aarey there are several ponds or Borivali national park ?

| FYI - The Bandra LFS that sells Daphnia told me that the guy who delivers it gets it from Panvel. (wonder if its true ?) But the delivery has been irregular. Like yesterday stock arrived but nothing today. |

Was chatting with Praveen Raj Jayasimhan on Facebook where to find Daphnia
He says
QUOTE
..You can look for any areas..where there is a municpal drainage or those areas which have organic pollution like cattle waste discharge...any place u can look out for...but the thing is you have to go early morning before there is a strong sunshine sets in. i heard some people collecting from dharavi. its a dirty job.

So Ryel....see you in Dharavi Or may be at the Buffalo Sheds in Jogeshwari  |

u can find it in powai lake
i hve talk to one lady who worked in haffkin institute
they dnt sell them
but they collect it from powai lake
but u know their r many stains of daphnia
powai lake strain is very small,microscopic
u can not see them with naked eyes
we need daphnia pullex, or daphnia magma
they are big enough to see and to feed fish
they use them for toxicology test
so powai lake has daphnia but carry big bucket,rope, and microscope
bed idea...so try to source them from lfs, |

| +1 with Pio...Its a dirty job....There is used to be Buffalo shed where the Sarovar Grand Premiere hotel stands today in Goregaon. And I had seen lots and lots of daphnia there. And after seeing the surroundings, I would not want to use Daphnia in my tanks even if someone told me that it came from a clean pond. |

| Would be best to buy it! The next best thing would be to identify a stagnant water body near your house n dump a bag full of daphnia there in the hope that they somehow survive and multiply! |

So then how do we know where the LFS is getting it from ?
Why this faith ?
Do they breed this ? Do they clean, quarantine and treat (with what) it with medicine before we buy it ? |
