Cladocera, commonly known as water fleas, are preyed upon by various aquatic organisms. Key predators include small fish, such as minnows and guppies, as well as larger invertebrates like water striders and certain species of aquatic insects. Additionally, some zooplankton and filter feeders may consume cladocerans when they are present in the water column. These interactions are crucial for maintaining the balance in aquatic ecosystems.
