Bring the Wild into Your Aquarium For the beginner aquarist, choosing the right food is the foundation of a healthy tank. Our Live White Mosquito Larvae are one of the safest and most effective live foods available. Known as “Glassworms” due to their transparent bodies, these larvae are the aquatic stage of the non-biting Chaoborus midge.

Why Choose Live White Larvae?

• Natural Enrichment: These larvae stay suspended in the water column rather than sinking. This encourages your fish to swim and “hunt,” providing essential mental and physical stimulation.

• Optimal Nutrition: Packed with essential amino acids and lipids, they are particularly effective for conditioning fish for breeding or helping new arrivals regain strength.

• Crystal Clear Water: Unlike dry flakes or messy frozen cubes, live larvae don’t disintegrate. If your fish don’t eat them immediately, the larvae simply swim until they are caught, meaning zero ammonia spikes from rotting leftovers.

• Safe for Beginners: White larvae are strictly aquatic and do not bite humans or fish. They are easier to manage than many other live cultures.

Feeding Instructions for Beginners:

1. Strain: Use a fine-mesh net to strain the larvae from the transport water.

2. Rinse: Gently rinse with a small amount of de-chlorinated tap water or aquarium water.

3. Feed: Add small amounts to the tank. Watch as your fish engage in their natural predatory behavior!

4. Frequency: Can be fed daily or as a high-protein treat 2–3 times per week.

Pro Tip: If you notice some larvae haven’t been eaten, don’t worry. They will survive in the aquarium until your fish find them later in the day.
