Mosquito fish disappearing? and Algae
I have two barrel a higher one pouring to another. The higher barrel
have mosquito fish. And the bottom one has goldfishes. The mosquito fish has been disappearing, I can't seem to find them. The upper barrel also has alot of algae. I am having some kind of tiny bugs that jumps on the surface of water. Also I see something like looked like adult mosquito but a white/green color. What are these? Would it help if I put a goldfish in the upper barrel to clean the algae and various bugs? The bottom barrel with goldfish is noticably cleaner. Thanks! |

If your goldfish have learned to eat algae, it will help to put some up
in the top. Mosquito fish can go over a falls...our do. Check the lower pond. Good luck Let us know how it goes. Jim wrote: I have two barrel a higher one pouring to another.

They may also be eating the mosquito fish if they're small enough to fit in their mouths. The mosquito fish may be going right down with the water flow where the goldfish await below for the snack. -- McKoi.... frugal ponding since 1995...
