Hey all,

In the bird bath that I have in my back yard I found some of these little critters and was wondering if I could feed these to my fish.

They look like mozzie larvae, you can feed them to your fish but if I were you I'd freeze them first as the May be carrying something

Mosquito larvae have not been shown to "carry" anything likely to cause problems with fishes. The single greatest benefit of this superb live food is it's safety, and as live food they give fishes the opportunity to indulge their hunting instinct.

Thanks very much for the feedback.

My endlers are loving them and I will feed some to my jack Dempsey fry if the parents spawn again.
