Hello all,
Does anyone have any reccommendations for frog-friendly fish to keep down the mosquito population in our 4' backyard pond?
We just installed this pond this spring and i'm afraid i'll forget to renew the mosquito dunks from time to time.
I read here that there are some frog friendly fish that will eat mosquito larvae e.g. the spotted blue eye (Pseudomugil gertrudae) but I'm having trouble finding them for sale (and when I do they're expensive ... ~$8 for one tiny fish!).
I just want a functional fish that will keep the mosquitos down.
Do you have any suggestions on what fish to put in the pond which will eat mosquito larvae while still allowing the frogs to breed?
Thanks and please let me know,
Davin
