Waaayy too many mosquito fish!
Hi again group!
I have a 600-700 gallon pond with 3 small koi about the size of the 6 - 4-5" goldfish and about 200 mosquito fish. The mosquito fish multiply like guppies and in fact look a lot like guppies. Started with 15 a year and a half ago and now have an estimated 200. It would take me forever to try and net them to reduce the population not to mention bothering all the plants and scaring the other fish. My water is almost 80 degrees now so I was thinking about buying an Oscar (smaller than the Koi and Goldfish) and see if he will thin out the mosquito fish population. The other alternate idea I had was to go accross the street to the lake and get a 2-3" largemouth bass and put him in there. If he starts getting bigger than the goldfish or Koi I could just break out my spinner bait, catch him and put him back in the lake. I can see some of you now leaning back in your chair slapping yourself in the forehead saying, "What is this guy thinking about??" *LOL* Give me the pros and cons if you know what would happen. Thanks, BK |
