fordfish Posted June 30, 2006 Share Posted June 30, 2006 Cant see why not, you could just put it in a bucket or a tub with enough water to keep it moist and a cover on it stick it outside and you dont have to waste a tank. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josh Posted June 30, 2006 Share Posted June 30, 2006 I have heard of people using buckets of water with rocks in them to grow algae outside. Josh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j.c fishfan Posted July 1, 2006 Author Share Posted July 1, 2006 i have plenty of tanks to waste! i would prefer to do it inside so i dont get mosquitoes larvae in the bucket. thanks for the help guys jamie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruce Posted July 1, 2006 Share Posted July 1, 2006 I think your fish would love the mosquito larvae aswell. Bruce Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j.c fishfan Posted July 1, 2006 Author Share Posted July 1, 2006 yeah i was thinking that but i thought about the mossies would be a bit dirty but if u can feed ur fish it well then why not? jamie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Posted July 1, 2006 Share Posted July 1, 2006 Just make sure you don't leave them for too long, or you'll be scratching a hell of a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
