Heres a pic. Put some in my guppy tank, they wouldn't touch them. Put some in my tetra tank and they went crazy! They love it

Mosquito larvae is great food. Still too cold here in the northeast.

Give them a rinse under tap water before feeding to the fish, especially if they come form dirty water. A white fine mesh fish net works best for this.

They came from the clean tub I was soaking my driftwood in, I put them in a jar of freshwater and rinsed them
