Mosquito larvae shouldn't be a threat to the shrimp but they'll be a nuisance to you when they reach their adult stage. Scoop them out and feed them to fish or toss them. Keep an eye out for the eggs which will be floating on the surface.

Are there any stagnant areas on your water surface? Mosquitoes prefer very still and calm water to lay their eggs in.

not rely but i have my 2 filters on kinda a low speed should i turn it up so they dont lay eggs?

Same thing happened to me. I turned my filter down a week ago and I found 2 of them trying to swim in the water. If I can net them them are betta food for sure. At first I thought they were newly hatched fry but with a shrimp only tank that is pretty much impossible.:duh:

increase surface disruption

Just net them out and dump them in a tank with fish.
