Hi,

I have a 2' tanks with 2 lionhead goldfish, 4 platies in it.

I noticed there are always some mosquito larva in the tank, my fishes don't eat them and these larva developed into mosquito.

I am wondering if there is any small fish that I can put into the tank to eliminate those mosquito larva ? or any other method without harming the fishes ?

Are you sure they are mosquito larvae? Mosquito larvae are the preferred live food of fish. Check that they really are mosquito larvae and not something else.

Yes, it is. I have even seen young mosquito flying around (the tank has a hook cover, so the mosquito doesn't fly out immediately).

I need to solve this problem as this will eventually lead to more mosquito in my house.
