Default will mosquito fish survive the winter?

To display my total ignorance, what is a " Mosquito fish " ? Will it survive
extremely Hot weather ? I have a 300 gal. 5' LX 3' WX 2' D. And since we
live just East of Houston Texas the water gets hot enough to cook rice in
( okay maybe not ). I have several types of plants growing in it and more
than a few Mosquito's. If there is a hardy fish I can put in and " Forget "
that would be great.
Thanks
Richard

Mosquito fish are usually Gambusia affinis, they live here in NC in water that
is almost hot to the touch. Just make sure thyere si no way for them to escape
into the natural environment. they can reall cause probelms.

remove nospam from e-mail to send to me, I grow trees in aquariums like bonsai.
I breed dwarf crayfish, great for planted community tanks. If you can get me a
shovelnose sturgeon fingerling (Scaphirhynchus platorynchus) no wild caught
please, contact me
