For any aquarium keepers interested in doing this, I developed a really good and simple method for doing this and keeping it clean 1.) get some filtered water OR rainwater and put it outside in the shade. It must be in the shade for the entirety of the day. 2.) put something in it to foul the water - some dog food kibble, leaves, whatever 3.) check the water every morning and look for small dark egg rafts that look like little black grains of rice. They are very small. When you see them you won’t believe it’s eggs at first because it just looks like some specs - but if you look close you’ll see the hundreds of eggs 4.) remove these egg rafts using a stick, chopstick, wooden spoon - whatever. You can easily lift them right out of the water. Deposit them in a second container of water that you keep inside in a temperate place using filtered water (no chlorine!) Just lower the chopstick into the water and they’ll float right off intact in their cluster 5.) add 2-3 dog kibble to this water. The eggs will hatch within a day or two and they will eat the kibble and microorganisms as they grow out 6.) in 3-5 days they will get big and get ready to go into the pupae stage - feed them to your fish before this happens. The pupae stage makes them look like these little comma shaped bugs that flip around on the water If you see any like this, you kept them too long. They will hatch into mosquitos very soon - for obvious reasons you don’t want this to happen Your fish will go nuts and love hunting these suckers down - and you helped control the population in your area! Couple pointers 1.) Use the 2 stage process so your grow out water is clean(ish) and controlled in batches. This makes harvesting easier - instead of trying to use the nasty water that you’re collecting the eggs from outside 2.) it can take a while for the initial eggs to get laid in the outside container - the mosquitos have to find it for one, and for two it has to reach a certain age level before they’ll lay eggs in it 3.) don’t keep them for too long before feeding. You do not want 200 mosquitos in your house
@@aquasoulify4711 but won't the mosquito larvae die though? Won't that remove the fun of watching them swimming for their lives as your fish hunts them down.
Oh I'm so happy the bottom feeders get to eat. Those guys are the most hard working and cutest but they usually get the spoils or leftovers or not much. So very glad they got some fresh yummies.
I left a tub in he backyard on accident and now I have larvae. I fed some to my fish and they went from peaceful to sharks in a flash, then right back to being peaceful lol. They now get larvae twice per week. They are displaying beautiful colors and they seem very happy.
i seen a couple of these floating in my new tank. nop fishes yet. is this bad? do they carry disease if the fish eat them? they weren't supposed to be in the tank but I already caught three that I saw wiggling around the tank. a little worried that there's more so I have not transferred my fish to the new tank. its been five days since I've set it up and added the redistart bacteria and wot not
Fish don't get sick when eating them? Because i believe they larvae could also carry the viruses & parasite.. but don't know if they affect the fish or not. So idk if this possible or not.
mosquitos: We are the god of drinking blood! :fish: and we are the god of eating you :mosquitos: what? :fish: eats mosquitos :mosquitos: AHH HELP WE GETTING KILLED BY FISH
isn't your betta being attacked by the black skirt fish? they usually attack anything which have large tails, hope they are somehow peaceful with ur betta
Best way to get thousands of mosquito larvae and unlimited supply is get a small fish tank and fill it up with water and just leave it in your garden... after 2 weeks it will be full of larvae
@@KingDez808 yes, the reason for that is that i was raising baby betta fish and if i cleaned it i would lose the babys. the brownness is from a special kind of leaf that is good for them. one of them has had its own babies now.
