Yes they will eat anything. They are like little Pirhanas. We dont feed ours. We just let them eat the tadpoles and dead yabbies and the fish poo etc. Ours is a self supporting aquarium. Mosquito fish are well suited to this. When tank gets scarce, we just take the scoop net to the swamp and catch some more.
yes you can and they eat them up like hot cakes.
There are several species of fish that are called "Mosquito Fish" The species most often refered to as a Mosquito Fish is the Gambusia and the male of that species grows to around 1 inch.
I enjoy finding a load of mosquito larvae because when I dump the entire container with the larvae in my tank the fish go nuts. Don't worry about breeding mosquitoes indoors. The fish will go to town. I sometimes purposefully grow a load of mosquito larvae in a pot so I can strain of a bunch of larvae and feed them to my pets.
A mosquito fish mainly feeds on mosquito larvae in the wild but in captivity a mosquito fish eats it's fry or leaves off of plants
yes, most fish that eat fish flakes eat any type i have over 10 types of fish in a tank and they all eat tetra flakes
You can feed this once or twice a week
Mosquito fish primarily feed on small aquatic organisms such as mosquito larvae, small insects, and algae. While they may nibble on plant material occasionally, celery is not a natural part of their diet and is not suitable for them. Feeding mosquito fish vegetables like celery may not provide the necessary nutrients they need to thrive. It's best to stick to their preferred diet for optimal health.
no it is a decomposer , it drinks blood
In captivity the owner has to feed the fish. In the wild the fish hide and hunt. They eat small water born crustacea like daphnia and insect larvae such as mosquito larvae..
Yes, mosquito fish can eat duckweed as part of their diet. Duckweed can provide a good source of nutrition for mosquito fish, as it contains proteins and carbohydrates that they can digest. Additionally, feeding duckweed to mosquito fish can help control its growth in aquatic environments.
