Live White Mosquito Larvae 25 × 90 ml

Live white mosquito larvae provide aquarium fish with nutritious and highly attractive live food. Also known as glassworms, the nearly transparent larvae belong to the Chaoborus genus and move actively through the water. Their movement attracts attention and encourages fish to search for and capture food naturally.

White mosquito larvae contain protein and other valuable nutrients. They are suitable as a supplementary food for growing fish, breeding fish, and animals recovering from transportation or other stressful situations. Live food may also encourage fish that do not readily accept dry foods to begin feeding.

The larvae remain suspended in the water column instead of immediately sinking to the substrate. This makes them accessible to fish feeding near the surface and in midwater. Their active movement also provides enrichment and encourages species-appropriate predatory behaviour.

Live white mosquito larvae are suitable for bettas, gouramis, cichlids, discus, tetras, barbs, killifish, livebearers, and many other insect-eating aquarium fish. Suitability depends on the size, mouth structure, and natural diet of the fish. Whole larvae may be too large for the smallest fry.

White mosquito larvae are primarily intended for freshwater aquarium fish. They should be used as supplementary food within a varied diet containing suitable dry food, frozen food, and other live feeds.

Before feeding, strain the larvae from the transport water and rinse them gently with clean dechlorinated water or aquarium water. Offer only the quantity that the fish can consume within a short time. Controlled feeding helps prevent unnecessary organic waste.

The sales unit contains 25 separate 90 ml portions. This bulk package is particularly suitable for aquarium shops, breeders, and keepers maintaining several aquariums.
