Gill,

Do you have access to gambusia (mosquito fish)? They would winter and
would take care of the mosquitos. I don't remember seeing any when we
were in Cambridge for my sabbatical. Alternately, Rosy Reds (Flathead
minnows) would do the job. Over here, Rosy Reds are sold for
aquaria. Their cousins, regular flathead minnows, are used in ponds.

I've never seen any on sale but I'll take a more careful look next time
I'm fish shopping. Thanks

Gill
