    Hi all,

    As above. Besides putting a hood or mesh or acrylic sheet over the tank, any suggestions? Those mosquito zapping devices help? Damn irritating, these flying insects keep hovering around my lights and their wings and bodies will just mess up the tank. My shrimps even eat them. Wonder their protein contain high or not.... Just kidding.

    Think you just about listed the solution. Hood / mesh / cover. Personally, I would just leave it, the occasional live food sounds good.

    Softer insects are not too bad. But if the insect is a tough type, it may injure the fish's throat if after swallowing, it continues to struggle and bite the fish's throat.
