Default UV and dead fry Bum rap for mosquito fish?

Thanks for the input. Back to the mosquito fish theory.

I will pull the mosquito fish out of the first filter pond as well...just in
case they get up there.

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!
