Hi. I have a container of old aquarium water outside that I use for the garden. Checked it this morning and it has a whole lot of little animals in it. They look like little screws, long bodies with a wee head, and the kind of curl their body to move through the water. Any idea? Is this something u can feed the fish?

Yummy mosquito larvae, nomnomnom.

That's them. And cos I listen to everything I'm told, I'm gonna do a water change and then feed one to the fish to see what they do

One?

Feed them all to your fish.

Yes well one didn't work. 100 coming up

Ummmmm how do you catch them

A fish net works well.

Ensure mesh size is small enough to catch them

Ok will go hunting

Best fun I've had in ages. Must have been a couple of hundred and gone in 20 seconds. Shame you can't buy the stuff, the fish adored them!

You can buy them, only freeze dried I believe.

Ok will look, it was the fun of watching them chase as well tho. More water outside needed

Make sure you keep it where the neighbours can't see it :rolfl:

Yes, my Mr already reckons he's been bitten cos of the mossies. Told him its for the greater good.

Tell him without his blood the females couldn't breed.

Now that would be an interesting sales pitch

People like to tell themselves they're at the top of the food chain....
