If you are so sure it's mosquito larvae the scoop it out. Dangerous breeding mosquitoes.

Are you referring to a small white dot swimming around at the top/sides/btm of the tank?? Most likely is Seed Shrimp.

Matured tank with overfeeding/leftover food usually caused this. Feed less or scope up leftovers might cured this problem.

Is it becos your water surface is stagnant/still or not moving. Then it will easy for the mosquito to lay eggs...
