Live food

Hi there
I've been having snail problems and have a bin previously only used for emptying tanks into at water changes outside the front door. I'm using this as a holding pen for snails prior to transfer to a pond (can't bring myself to squish them) so it only has excess tank water, rain water and aquarium plant trimmings in it. As with most standing water it now also has a healthy population of midge/mosquito larvae. Would these be safe to use as live food for my fish?
Thanks
Adrian  :cheers:

Hi Adrian,

I don't have access to my laptop at the moment - just my phone - and so can't copy and paste in the link to the relevant thread. However, if you do a search for "Feeding flies to fish", you'll see the helpful responses to a similar query of mine.
