Nick,

I forgot what happened to your fish.

Any chance of putting mosquito fish in? That is what we did in our
farm pond...to prevent mosquitos until we get our bluegills in.

Mosquito fish are cheap enough, but the one year I had them, they didn't
make it through the winter (North Hollywood CA). I think I'd have to drain
the pond to get rid of any remaining termite extermination spray first.
Thanks.

I had a a lot of them in my pond in Van Nuys (right near you). They did
well. Our winters never get that cold. They also need some vegetation
that the fry can hide in. Vector Control will give them to you for free.
You just take a big bucket to their office in Pacoima (I think).
