Can I nurture my fish mosquito larva from an outdoor fountain?
There are some larvae in the fountain in my backyard.
Great free fish food.
Because in attendance are no fish in the fountain the chance of bringing in any fishy disease is pretty remote.

That would be a wonderful passageway to make your aquarium fish sick with disease and parasites.
Keep absent from outdoor foods and only buy frozen foods from the aquarium stores.
Good idea. Otherwise, they will hatch into nasty flying bloodsuckers.
i would not

Please do! It will help control the mosquito population. Better yet, put the fish into the fountain and skip the middle step!
i hold some upside down catfish, and thats what they eat naturally, feed them the larva, but generate sure theres no chemicals that might harm the fish
no your fish live in controlled tank. It would infect them and reservoir
Sure, a bug is a meal to a fish... doesn't matter where on earth the bug comes from.
Yep, so long as they havent been exposed to any chemicals or pesticides, and form sure your fish eat they all so you dont hold mozzies popping up in your house
it depends if you want to risk it or not...the probability of disease is most imagined going to be higher
Answers: Yes, mosquito larva are one of the best of all fish foods.
They aren't as popular as they might otherwise be because if you keep them around too long, they turn into mosquitoes.
But mosquito larva are one of the main foods of many wild fish, and feed them to aquarium fish improves the fishes' color and growth, and helps get them into breeding condition.
Nah they may contain diseases.
