I've got 11 fish which are mostly Redears with one possible Warmouth. They range from 1.5 to 2 inches (4-5 cm) at this time. Unfortunately there are ample mosquito larvae on our property and I can easily collect them as needed. Do I need to supplement something else?
Will small Sunfish do well eating primarily mosquito larvae?

Howdy. It's never a good idea to feed just one kind of food (although I've gotten away with it for extended periods at times). That said, I had good luck with mosquito larvae back in 2005 when I had small bass and sunfish. Here's a post from the mailing list back then which I just reposted to the Forum.I've got 11 fish which are mostly Redears with one possible Warmouth.

I'd say alternate mosquito larvae with at least one other food, and you'll be in good shape.
Cheers, Jase

Young sunfish train to "baby" pellets pretty easily. I believe pellets make up a good staple diet when supplemented with a wide range of dried and frozen foods.
