2.For its food, drops of milk can be added which will decay and provide nutrition to the flea.

Water flea is a tiny organism taht is just 1mm in size, it reproduces very quickly and is attracted to light. To mainatain water flea in our lab we need to provide them w suitable conditions such as Dechlorinated water which wouldnt be microorganism-free. We need to put in a few drops of milk so that the decaying matter in it would provide nutrition to the water flea.

They feed by using hair-like structures on their arms to swim/ feed their way through the water . They eat bacteria, algae and virtually anything that is in the water (of small enough size). Because they filter water , they come in contact with and eat a lot of chemicals.

Can water flea survive out of the water source?
