Bobad, keep in mind that gambusia are prolific breeders. You will probably end up with them anyway
Yes, I know the gambusia are prolific. I guess that's a big advantage of live birthing. I've noticed that gambusia will not venture out close to bedding areas. They seem to stay close to the banks, and in shallow and weedy areas.

Wonder if gambusia and shrimp would be sufficient without fatheads/rosy reds or any other introduced bait fish?

Side note: Between the shrimp and gambusia, I don't think a single mosquito larva will mature in my pond. \:\)
