Alan Posted March 11, 2007 Report Share Posted March 11, 2007 Only when the fish are little I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HummingBird Posted March 11, 2007 Report Share Posted March 11, 2007 Yeah if the fish are little enough backswimmers (a different species than waterboatmen but they look almost identical - boatmen are vegetarians where as they're predators) will eat them. Mossie larvae is an excellent food, not least of all because it's free. Here's a cool pic I took one time of a young guppy just discovering some that were hiding in some floating plants.. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v655/hummingbird42/2ft%20Guppys%20Swordtails/Mossylarvae.jpg?t=1173607528 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
