However, although the fish weren't happy, the mozzie larvae obviously
are - there are thousands of them, and I can see that when they fledge

blighters.
Any suggestions how I can get rid of them safely - both dog and cat
are partial to a drink from the barrel?

Something to break the surface tension of the water so the larvae cannot
breath. Perhaps a _couple_ of drops of washing up liquid or a _minute_
amount of WD40.

Thanks Alan - I've gone for the washing up liquid as the lesser of the
two evils - the dog's been blowing bubbles; will update you on the
mozzie larvae in a day or two.
