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..
