Mosquito larvae

[WattsySSFC]

Theres a tub out the back that filled up with rain water and now has mosquito larvae in it. Are they safe to feed to my fish? Im thinking no but thought i might as well ask.

Not sure try it and let me know

You could add Paraguard to them, wait a day, then rinse off, add garlic and metrocondizole , then feed them....... Just want to be sure parasite and bacteria free. I did it that way and was ok

I would dump them in a bag and freeze them. That way parasites and bacteria on them die and if they don't get eaten you won't end up with Mosquitos in your house.

What if i want them alive?

They make great live food and your fish will love them. There is always the risk of parasites though. I don't know how big a risk it is, but the above advice about treating them before feeding sounds good.
