Daphnia feed on organic detritus (tiny bits of dead stuff), if you are keeping them I suggest feeding them algae (grow in separate tank!), yeast or grain.
Remember it is best to underfeed than overfeed otherwise you may kill them all.
Daphnia live in lakes, ponds, slow moving streams.
No, Daphnia cannot live in an aquarium with fish as they are likely to be eaten by the fish.
