Drain Flies In My Filter

Recommended Posts

I've had an issue for the past months and I've done bloody everything but a full tear down with no results. Those little jerks keep on coming back no matter how deep I scrub.

Now I know drain flies can't harm my fish, if anything they provide a little snack after becoming adults, but aesthetically it's getting really old. The adults don't eat and the larvae are still hiding despite the cleanings, 80% water changes and tearing out the bio media to start over.

My tank is small, only 10g and holds 2 juvenile fancy goldfish (they'll be moving to a 50-60g when I move) and 1 anubias. It's bare bottom and I run a 30g filter system.

Anyone have this issue or know of a half descent solution I can implement before I move or should I just wait it out and hope for the best after the move and can give this filter a bleaching.
