Hi. Sometime ago I read an article online about raising bloodworms and mosquito larvae outside in a garbage-can lid, but unfortunately can't remember where it was. If somebody else read that or something similar to that, can you please provide a link? I think it was an article right here on AC, but I'm not sure.
From what I remember all it required was a little gravel on the bottom of the lid and water (duckweed was also suggested, but I don't remeber why) and mosquitos will do the rest. How high is the risk of introducing infection or parasites into the tanks, assuming this does work and I get some live bloodworms? Is there a way to clean them before I feed them to my fish? Any other thoughts on the matter will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
