Hey guys
I just wanted to know if you had any ideas or what was the best way to attract mosquitoes? I would like to raise/get some larvae for my gouramis and tetras, but I don't really know how to catch them. My grandparents had a bucket of water left outside to keep cuttings of plants geowing before they were planted and i discovered some larvae which I fed to my betta, and now im wandering how I can get some at my house to feed my fish?
thanks :)
 
Standing water, like in a bird bath.....Funny I came across this! Just yesterday I went out and noticed my bird bath had the little wigglers in it! And I said "DIE BABY MOSQUITOS! DIE!" As I poured out the water.....

standing water is all you need for mosquitos to start laying. Im not sure I would want to invite them around ,they wont leave me alone.

X 2 - in small scale, it isn't a big worry and they are an excellent source of food for your fish. I actually take them from our water trough (before I dump/refill) in the summer months for our breeding tanks as they are great for conditioning of the parent fish.
