LYNDYLOO Posted January 1, 2006 Report Share Posted January 1, 2006 Hi Guys, Just wondering if anyone knows if i can feed Mosquito Larvae to my Fishies, I have 2 big drums out at my 1 1/4 acre section, which we are planning to build on soon, these two drums are filled with water for the plants that I am planting out for the Landscaping there, I noticed when I was out there today, there are heaps of what I think are Mosquito Larvae, can I feed these to my fishies?

LYNDYLOO Posted January 1, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 1, 2006 Thanks for that Caryl, I know what I'll be doing tomorrow then, fishing for Mossie Larvae. Lynda Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DubbieBoy Posted January 1, 2006 Report Share Posted January 1, 2006 I fish them out with a tea-strainer, run it under the tap to wash 'em off and then just dump them in - the fish LOVE them, especially the Rams. And because I have a layer of floating Riccia on the surface, the mossie larvae can hide out and the fish can then hunt for the rest of the day!

Caryl Posted January 1, 2006 Report Share Posted January 1, 2006 I just use a net but don't rinse them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cath Posted January 2, 2006 Report Share Posted January 2, 2006 :bounce: Yes yes yes fish LOVE live foods - Mine get mozzy larvae and daphnia from the horse troughs most days, it's brilliant and like someone said, Blue rams LOVE it, so do the danios and neons. I think it's great for the fishes well being to get them behaving naturally and it's fun to watch them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
antwan Posted January 11, 2006 Report Share Posted January 11, 2006 Hi all I had some mozzy larvae once which i kept in an orange juice container. I just left them to become mosquito's which i then put in the gap between the lid and the water. Then u get to see the fish jump for them, quite fun to watch really. Just thought id put in my two cents. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
