Anyone know of a source for Gambusia? I've got a couple of small mini-ponds that I'd love to put some in. Not having much luck finding any locally yet.

I found a website that'll send me 50+ for 40 bucks free shipping...that's not a horrible price I suppose as long as I have a predator free BOW which I happen to have.

They can thrive even in a predator pond . They can live in 1/4" water along the bank. I like them and it doesn't take many to get a population established

Update on this post - the website fell through...the proprietor never returned calls or emails and never shipped the gambusia...so I can't say whether or not they'd do OK in my pond.
