will tank fish eat mosquito lavae

Hi there,

I was wondering if my Angels will eat mosquito lavae as live food without any risk to the fish?

Regards Duzzy

Surely your fish will!
Some livefood carriy disease, such as daphnia (I mean disease for fish) about mosquito lavae, they do carry diseases for human, I haven't heared about its risks for the fish. My dad doesn't allow me to feed my fish with that

. You may try other live food as well

May I suggest self-cultured daphnia. That's cool!

You can feed mosquito larvae to angels no problem, I used it many times on many types of fish. Now days I even have frozen qubes of mosquito largae, and frozen daphnia. But if you want to mess around with cultured daphnia, i think its worth it.

Are ther laws against keep/culturing mosquito larvea? They may grow up and be diseases carriers right?

Yeah I know, they come to no harm! About mosquito larvea? I think that's dangerous!

Frozen works best,

I won't be culturing it i will just collect it from the water tank used on the garden at home, I live in Australia and this time of year its everywhere

Thanks for your help
