I have UV on my large pond and almost every year, a few fry survive the
caviar after spawning activity of the adults. I have taken some of the
plants out and put them in a stock tank to raise more babies so that I have
a better chance of getting a nice fish, but I still get a few survivors in
the pond. The last one that has yet to be caught is solid black, and now
approaching 18 inches. Maybe he will slow down enough that I can get him
out of the pond.

A fish farmer that used to hang around here mentioned they kill off
microaquatics eaten by hatching fry. So, if you use UV and want to
raise fry you need to feed them and he suggested boiled egg yoke.

Does anyone with a UV have a good batch of hatchlings? If the UV really
takes out the fry food, that could explain why I have not had babies for a
while...maybe the mosquito fish are getting a bum rap!
