  • Mosquitos in my filter housing

    i was just cleaning the filter on my 50g, and about 10 mosquitos came out.

    I took the filter completely apart and theres several dead mosquitos(or maybe shedded bodies?) inside.
    I checked all my other filters and there arent any other mosquitos.
    How do i stop them from laying eggs in the filters? Will mosquito tablets harm my fish? I assume they would so unless someones used them with no problems, i wont use them.

    thanks

    chop up old panty hose and stuff them in the filter

    or you can collect them for free food

    He would have continued but at that moment my very obedient daughter who was listening leaned over to me and asked quite audibly in her shrill little four-year old girl voice, 'Mom, what is butt dust?'

        And just think how much fun you'll have convincing her to give them up for the cause.....

              You need to build a fish house seperate from the house so you don't have to feed your fish food. <just kidding - sheepish grin>

                Yeah, they were in my HOB. The water didnt smell dirty, and it hadnt been more than a month since i changed the filter and washed the biopad.

                I also thought they wouldnt lay eggs in the fish tanks, i figured if they did the fish would eat them, so it never concerned me.
