<p><font color="#000000"><em>Bacillus thuringiensis</em> (<em>Bt</em>) is effective against larve / caterpillars and is used by organic growers. It is available in liquid form (Thuricide) or powder (Diple). It is a bacteria the produces proteins that are toxic to the bugs but not the fish. Alternatively, if your set up is small, you can just hand pick the bugs and feed them to the fish.</font></p>
