I just sold my aquarium and I'm enjoying not having to feed the fish
2-3 times a day.
But now I'm planning a small raised pond (100gal) and I'm thinking I
will need to have a few fish to eat mosquito larvae and provide
entertainment (a couple of goldfish would be nice to look at). On the
other hand, I don't want to go back to daily feeding.

## I seriously doubt a few goldfish would find enough insects to survive in
a 100 gal tank/pond. Healthy GF are fast growing heavy feeders and can get
12" long. I feed my GF twice a day in summer.

Anyone have reccomendations, as to what fish would be good for the
above purposes (especially mosquitoes) but that would require minimal
feeding? Is there something I can add (e.g. plants) that will provide
food?

## If you don't want to be bothered feeding them, how are you going to
manage cleaning the filter etc?

If it matters, our winters are mild in central Texas, but we do have
long summers.
Thanks,
Sam
