OH MY GOSH! I HAVE THESE LITTLE NAT LARVA IN MY TANK!! THEY ARE EVERYWHERE! THEY JUST APPEARED LIKE AN HOUR AGO!! I NOTICED I WAS KILLING SOME NATS ON MY LAPTOP SCREEN THEN I TURNED MY LIGHT ON AND LOOKED IN MY TANK AND THEY ARE SWIMMING EVERYWHERE!!! WHAT DO I DO!?!?! PLEASE HELP ME! THIS TANK IS IN MY ROOM!
 
What fish do you have in the tank?, insect larva will not last very long before they are eaten unless you only have monsters in there that are too big to notice them.
 
I have a little 5inch or so b. juruense,4inch ID shark, and some plecos. I have another tank in my room, and I dont want that one to get it either. Its kind of creepy these little things everywhere. They are turning into the nat things pretty quick. I have hundreds of the little larva everywhere and some nats now stuck in there. I tried to make sure they couldnt get out anywhere, b/c now I cant sleep knowing they are flying everywhere
 
FREE FOOD! If you really don't like the look of them, you might want to consider getting a mid-top swimmer dither that will eat them quickly. Insect larva is a good source of protein for your fish (bloodworms are often just mosquito larva).
 
ok its kind of pissing me off now...They are in the other tank now... Can these come from bloodworm cubes? or some nightcrawlers somehow? thats all that Ive fed my fish this week?!
 
Earthworms don't change. Bloodworms that are frozen, or freeze dried will not be able to morph into their adult stage. A good fish to deal with these would be an archer (just for the fun of it), or many other fish like angels, bala's, mollies, platys, yellow labs, or even convicts.

If you want a freshwater archer, look for Toxotes microlepis.
