Depends on the area you live in, but in the warmer states they are
most abundant in most any farm pomnd or water that does not have alot
of current......No need to stock em in any of the osuthern ponds as
they seem to occur naturally even in ponds filled with rainwater or
runoff......

Sometimes they do fine in cold water other times not..........The
names folks call them varies according to regions. They are called
skeeter fish, top water minnows pond guppies in this area, but the
real name for them is Gambusia...

They multiply pretty quick and a 6 week old fish is capable of
reproducing......You can dip netfulls out of my pond right now, but
by summers end or into late fall most will be history as they are a
prime source of food for bream and warmouths and smaller bass as well
as king fishers.......
