Yes, I had a bullfrog (remember the story I wrote about "Frankenfrog" when
he ate one of my goldfish?) but he never bothered the mosquito fish and now
he's been missing for 5-6 weeks (see other story - "Coon hunting
invitation"). I'm going to try the bottle trap first and see what that does.
I'd try the chemical treatment but I hate putting things in the water I
don't have first-hand experience witt. Plus it'll be a chore trying to catch
the koi and goldfish.

Oh Bonnie, I wish that were the case here. I have several bullfrogs &
many
tadpoles. Mind you, I have a hard time telling the difference between
bullfrogs & greenfrogs. I have the photos, but it's no use with me, I
can't
tell the difference.

I put in 5 mosquito fish 4 summers ago. Now I have a million. They

smart. I have tried several ways to catch them. All work for 4-5
days.
I've done commercial minnow traps, homemade nets that are baited, the
inverted bottle. I even resorted to putting a net on the end of a
pole
and
scooping them out. I catch about 11 on each pass. Reduces the
population
for a day and makes me feel better.

If you find ANY thing that will eat them, get a patent.

Bullfrogs do a good job of keeping them in check in
my pond :-)
