Bogwood

[Nidgi]

Hello
I've bought some bogwood/mopani for aquarium, what i've done is soak the pieces in water in an unused tank, i noticed the other day there are lots of these little things wriggling about in water, they seem to float to the top!! Any idea what they are, and have they come from bogwood??

Thanks

Hello again,
Problem solved, it seems the 'wriggly thing' are mosquito larvae!! So i've decided to turn heater on in tank and run the filter, it seems mozzies are attracted to still water, i'll know for next time

Better still feed the mosquito larvae to your fish they will love them.

I agree, most fish will take care of mosquito larvae in a second, what sort of inhabitants do you have in the tank currently and how many gallons is it?

Hello, yes the fish devoured the larvae, although i think a few sprouted wings, as we've all been bitten in the house!!
Angel fish, silver sharks, neon tetras, and plecs currently inhabit the tank
