I'm little Johnny FHM. Everywhere I go I put in a few dozen. Today a couple of Italian marble fountains I maintain and landscape. They can keep my bullfrog polliwogs company. I even got the pink or rosy red kind that would not last two seconds in the wild. I'm up to six different locations. My goal is at least 20 planted with FHM where they have a chance to survive, no predator fish. I'm sick and tired of all the hoops, shipping and everything else to get these things.
Well update to this. The Italian marble fountains actually worked. Bad news, I used Pinks or Rosy Reds. These fountains were initially or mistakenly stocked with Koi. Being to shallow, and no hiding places, herons and grebes ended that thought. Same birds knocked my original planting from 40 to 6. However those 6 now have dozens of little ones. I have aquatic potted plants, cinder blocks only. And they made it with gambusia. I am certain survival rate would have been better with grays. But I wanted to see where gambusia stayed and where fhm stayed in this fountain. Completely different areas and never together. I am slowly building a supply of renewable fhm. Both pinks and normal.
