Can a dog get heartworm from drinking water with mosquito larvae?

No. Heartworms come from adult mosquitoes through the BITE. Baby heartworms are injected with the mosquito bite and migrate to the heart through the blood system.
So, while ingesting water with mosquito larvae in it will not give your dog heartworms, if they are allowed to grow up into adult mosquitoes, the adults may bite your dog and give it heartworms.

Yes - mosquito larvae are like potato chips to goldfish! I have a container water garden on my patio and earlier this week I noticed that it was completely full of hundreds of mosquito larvae swimming around in the water. I bought two (just two!) goldfish and put them in it this morning. Within the course of three hours, the two goldfish had eaten every single mosquito larvae - not a single one left. I strongly recommend common goldfish for anyone who has a mosquito larvae problem in their pond or water garden.
