I have been wondering about my situation of no koi babies and mosquito
control by gambusia.

I gather you have koi babies. Do you also have gambusia? If not, how do
you control your mosquitos?


If you have enough surface flow the larvae will get sucked away, they are
very fragile and don't handle skimmers and/or waterfalls well. Goldfish &
koi both eat larvae & eggs, plus all the critters John mentioned. ~ jan
