rearing mosquito
I've set up my tank for running in the water.....
placing GEX soil ..... and waiting for 1 month for the water condition to set. but 1 week into the conditioning. I notice there are mosquito lava in the tank and it makes me wonder , how do you guys keep mosquito lava out of the tank. as shrimps are vegetarians . . . . . . |

I still dun introduce shrimps to the tank yet.
i place some fish food in the tank to start the cycle. There is a over flow filter running.... and the 1st occupiant is the mosquito lava that i saw this morning. as recommend by dennal, I introduce a small guppy as tank mate for the mosquito babies. Hope they have fun together |
