Live Mosquito Larvae

Product Features:

• High-Quality Nutrition: The larvae thrive on a diet of algae, plankton, fungi, and other microorganisms, making them a dense source of essential nutrients for your fish.
• Enticing Movement: Their natural wiggle movement stimulates fish’s hunting instincts, promoting active engagement and exercise.
• Safe & Natural: Raised in a controlled environment to ensure they are free from harmful elements.

Detailed Description:

• Physical Characteristics: Resembling small, hairy worms, mosquito larvae have a round head, a soft, segmented body, and a distinctive siphon tube at the abdomen tip, used for breathing. Growing up to 5mm in length by their final moult, they provide a good mouthful for many fish species.
• Life Cycle: Mosquito larvae evolve through four phases – egg, larva, pupa, and adult. They moult four times, expanding in size with each transformation.
• Dietary Habits: Constantly munching, these larvae derive their energy from microorganisms in the water. They use tiny fan-like brushes to channel minute food particles towards their mouth. Some species are even known to consume other mosquito larvae.
