Gah silly angelfish, started doing tank cleaning today and they decided to start laying eggs again, literally a few hrs before hand...
They get cranky if you walk past the tank when they have eggs so I don't want to annoy/stress them by bothering them while they are protecting the eggs (even though they will probably just eat them all again) guess ill just have to hold out till the eggs are gone... off to clean the other two tanks I guess

Yes they would love them, just make sure you rinse them first in dechlorinated water, if you have plants in your tank (or anything floating that they can hide in) it would be best to just freeze them first with a little bit of the dechlorinated water (then you don't have to worry about any hatching and getting Mosquitos inside)

Thanks, I was just feeding the Mosquito larvae 2 or 3 times a week but since I moved him into my new set-up there are no copepod colonies yet. I do freeze my extra Mosquito larvae for if I run out of live for my other fish however the Scarlet Badis will only eat live foods.
