A few water fleas (Daphnia) prey on tiny crustaceans and rotifers, but most are filter feeders, ingesting unicellular algae and various sorts of organic detritus including protists and bacteria. They also eat forms of yeast, but mostly in laboratories or controlled environment. Daphnia can be kept easily on a diet of yeast.
