I think they'll grow ok, but how are you going to keep the mosquitos out
if it? You can put some fish in but they will eat the greens if you
aren't careful and I'm thinking the fish you'd need to use would be the
small Australian ones (that I can't remember the name of, blue
something). Otherwise you'll have to keep the water covered with
mosquito netting. Mind you if you get the proportion of fish correct so
you don't lose your crop you will severely deplete the population of
mosquitos - the fish love their larvae. I have a fish tank on my front
porch, and while the goldfish I have in it are voracious greens eaters
the mosquitos are definately attracted to the tank and the fish eat the
larvae and probably the mosquitos too if they pause too long on the
surface of the water. This area use to have a massive mozzie problem but
so long as there isn't any other standing water near the house there are
very few mozzies left these days.
