We have had babies in the ponds with mosquito fish...but very few! We

shall see in the spring. I could pull the fish and not return the

mosquito fish. I would faer the mosquitos, however. Maybe i should

cut them down to only a few?

My brief experience with having a pond (just over 3 years) is that, bar

any outside factors, they breed like rabbits ;-) Over the last two

years, I've had something like 20 new fish arrive in my pond as a result

of goldfish and shubunkin breeding. The only reason it's not hopelessly

overcrowded is that a Heron came by for lunch last autumn ;-)
