Daphnia, commonly known as water fleas, typically have two compound eyes. These eyes provide them with a wide field of vision, which is crucial for detecting predators and navigating their aquatic environment. In addition to the compound eyes, some species of Daphnia may also possess a simple eye or ocellus, contributing to their sensory capabilities.

There are many species of daphnia and they are found across the globe. Daphnia is most used in fish culture due to their cost and availability. The scientific name for the Daphnia is"Cladocera." They have many legs and are a brownish color. The reason why you can identify the colors is because of the fact that daphnia are actually transparent. The majority of Daphnia are filter feeders which means that they help clean up the ecosystem by feeding on algae or bacteria which is sometimes very dangerous to humans. This makes them extremely popular in large lakes. In fact, it is possible that about 100,000 of these "water fleas" occupy every cubic meter in the Great Lakes. Even though these crustaceans may seem out the ordinary, they are like many other animals in the ecosystem, with legs, antennae, eyes and even a nervous system, making them perfect for scientific studies, such as toxicity studies due to the fact that they feed from the same water they live in.
