for mosquitoes, I think you might be better off with a dragonfly or koi

I was wondering if anyone has had good results with a goldfish or koi
pond. I would thing that a pond would be one big mosquito magnet,
suck all the larva into one spot, where the fish would eat them. Do
these ponds actually reduce mosquito numbers considerably?

I have a pond. There are lots of goldfish and rosy red minnows that
hunt down the mosquito larvae. I have read university articles that
state that well-stocked ponds do reduce the mosquito population. But,
the mosquitos find many other good places to lay eggs.
