Mosquito Larva?
Xref: kermit rec.ponds:120809
I have a small pond and with a separate barrel pond that flows into it (then gets pumped back into the barrel). Anyways, I don't have any fish in the barrel, just plants. In the main pond I have some gold fish, tadpoles and snails. Today I noticed something in the barrel. It (or they) is skinny and about 3/8" or 1/2" long and appears to almost jump through the water, very fast. Does this sounds like mosquito larvae? I know someone posted some pictures on here recently that another identified as larvae, but I couldn't find that post again. Whether or not they are larvae, should I have at least a couple fish in the barrel too? Thanks, Scott P.S. I started my pond about 6 weeks ago or so. A couple weeks later, my water got real green and murky with algae! I kept putting the plants in as I had planned and about 2 weeks later my water went from not being able to see through at all to crystal clear! Like everyone says, PATIENCE! But it is hard! |
