I was just thinking about the veggie filter.
For those of you who have them, do you have any minnows in there to help
with the mosquitoe lava? And if you do, how do you keep them from being
spilled into the pond. I know of several people whos pond got over taken
with the minnows.
Also, how long do minnows live?
I some how got one in my midget pond 3 yrs ago and he's still in there.

Priss...I am without a doubt going to put minnows in my VF. As for keeping
them from being sucked into the filter...I plan to bury the intake in some
bio balls or other such obstacles...If figure if they navigate the
maze...then they are suicidal and there is nothing I can do.
