I'm not too sure if that would work as those have some sort of transfer system in and out of the tank right? The larvae are perhaps the size of baby brine shrimp and would probably end up back in the...

Cyno has a couple of diff varieties ranging from the purple gel like stuff to a hairy brown/green variety.

It all comes down to what you need vs what you can afford.
