Do you have any fish in your veggie filter?
I was wondering if I should buy a small fish and stick in there to eat any mosquito lava or if the flow of the current would just wash the lava into the bigger pond. How was your visit with your son? Good I hope. -- Priss http://priss31.tripod.com/SmallPond.html |

The mosquito larva are found only in still water, so it al depends on how fast the water moves thru it. I have a couple of gold fish in mine that I guess the eggs just came up through the pump or something. DO NOT put minnows anywhere in your pond. I got some in mine on some plants and can not get rid of them. It is an ongoing battle at one point there were HUNDREDS!!! I finally got 2 channel cats and they are eating some, but they also eat baby koi and goldfish....They are a very good method for fish conrtol however.

I would love them in my pond but they are a warmish water fish. -- SEE YER.. IAN P. GARDNER SOUTH ENGLAND ISLE OF WIGHT. www.gardner44.freeserve.co.uk |

I got some in on a plant....they quickly multiplied into the hundreds of tiny fish.....A hundred small is about the same as several good sized goldfish as far as fouling the water. I can not get rid of them try as I might. I even draind the largest pond, and still there must have been a few eggs in a pot or something they are back again. They look like female guppies ....about an inch long and grey. Jerri http://www.fringeweb.com/Ponds/JerrisPond |

If you are talking about the Rosy Red Fathead Minnows they were added to the controlled list of non native fish in February this year, you need to apply for a licence to keep them in a pond now. See www.efishbusiness.co.uk and look at Controls on Non Native Fish Species. -- Regards - Rodney Pont e-mail ngps07 (at) infohit (dot) fsnet (dot) co (dot) uk |

Could they be guppy`s? or are they white cloud mountain minnows. Do they have small tails? -- SEE YER.. IAN P. GARDNER SOUTH ENGLAND ISLE OF WIGHT. www.gardner44.freeserve.co.uk |
