I see no need to stock Gambusia...none whatsoever.
Todd,
I disagree...agree that Gambusia occur naturally here in East Texas, but disagree that they should not ever be stocked. My GG's were stocked in a newly renovated pond. It would take months, if ever, to have a Gambusia population that I started with by stocking them. Clearly, without doubt, the GG's devour Gambusia. Without stocking them in a barren pond in winter, the GG's would not have that forage. As I stated on another thread, someone knew what they were doing when they set up their GG program to include Gambusia. At first, I didn't think so, now I'm a believer...and it has absolutely nothing to do with mosquito control either.
