Im new at this but so far I am liking the gambusia. They are holding their own pretty good in a pond full of predators. As the water drops due to the drought the fhm are declining rapidly but it seems the gambusia are still holding strong and reproducing. Its been said numerous times on this forum that fhm are not going to be a permanent minnow species present in the pond so why are gambusia bad if they will be a long term forage species?
