mosquito larva

I went out to buy some frozen cyclop-eeze and the only place in town is out. They suggested I use frozen mosquito larva in the meantime.

Would all my fish eat this or just one or two? If one or two, which?

(3 chromis, 1 yellow tang, 1 lawnmower blenny, 1 yellow clown goby, a few zoa's)

I was curious because I've never talked to anyone who uses it.

You could always feed them flakes or small pellets in a pinch. It won't hurt them any... Never heard about feeding SW fish mosquito larva...

well I generally feed them all a homemade food, and spectrum pellets, just thought I'd try something new. I've only heard of feeding mosquito larva to pipefish.

Anyone else ever hear of using mosquito larva for other fish?
