What is the size of your tank?
what sort of filtration you are using? Is there any water surface movements?

For the time being, you can just remove the wrigglers manually and destroy them. But long term wise, you have to consider if you are having a mosquito breeding heaven in your home with this tank.

Any other tank I wound suggest putting some livebearer such as guppies, endlers, mollies, platies as they are known to relish on mosquito larvae/wrigglers. But sadly, they also will relish on any cherries that fit their mouth.

the only solution I can think of is to cover your tank with fine mosquito net after you cleared the wrigglers to prevent further invasion.

Thanks for infomations ... my tank is a 2ft by 1ft by 1ft ... yes moving water suface but still invasions man ... sad ...

i have just manually removed them but i do not think that will go on for long term wise ...

ya , thats what i've heard that most fish will destroy my cherry just when they change shell .. sad ... hopefully someone could give a great idea rather then using a cover ...

Thanks bro for the help ...

And also, pray that the NEA doesn't come and inspect your tank, or you will be in for a fine.

This was the reason I put Boraras Brigattae into my CRS tank, so far so good.
