Hobbit Posted May 4, 2021 Share Posted May 4, 2021 So I’ve had my two 27 gallon tubs set up for a while, and tonight I look over and behold! They are teeming with mosquito larvae! This is great but I don’t have any fish in there yet. I netted out a bunch to feed to my indoor 55 gallon and my fish were sooooo excited. But I barely put a dent in what was in the tub. How do I keep my backyard from becoming mosquito heaven before I get fish? I’m not sure it’s even warm enough to order fish yet... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stash Beardsley Posted May 4, 2021 Share Posted May 4, 2021 Net them out with fine mesh net. Get some dollar store ice cube trays. Make mosquito ice cubes. Thaw them out as needed. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hobbit Posted May 6, 2021 Author Share Posted May 6, 2021 (edited) I got a net and some buckets and a jar and did a lot of scooping, and I got a LOT of larvae!! When I went back the next day to collect more, it seems like there were hardly any large larvae. So it seems like I got most of the large ones on the first round. Makes sense since they’re easiest to catch. This gives me some confidence that I can catch most of them before they get to mosquito stage. 👍 ETA: oh and I totally made ice cubes like you suggested. Yum!! 😝 Edited May 6, 2021 by Hobbit 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
