HELP! there are mosquitoes breeding in my tank.

if not even if hatched the larvae cannot breathe due to current flow and die

This last statement is not very true. It does apply but not to all species of mosquitoes. I have experimented with different species and some seem to be able to survive water movement and develope into adults. However, although my experiements might suggest so, i think more intense experimentation should be done before this point is confirmed..but nothing is really confirmed la.. its just that i've found in my own experiements that some are able to develope.

qgnwn,
As for your tank, dont worry about it. The fishes will settle the problem. You dont even need the guppies if you think it clashes with your general scape.

Mosquitoes breed in stagnant and running waters. But most of them breed in still waters.
