Yep, a number of them do. Not sure of all the species. I got some Fat Head Minnows for my mom's small pond, and they work. Bluegill also like to munch on them. Mosquito fish also, but they are illegal in Michigan.

I am sure more people have better answers than this.

There aren't too many species that won't eat mosquito larvae...

Gold fish! I put a feeder gold fish in my patio fountain to keep the mosquitos in control.

Almost any fry will eat mosquito larvae. Part of the food chain. I would not use goldfish unless you can get them back out easily, as they can cause a lot of problems down the road. FHM are great for that.

Everything in the pond eats everything smaller until it becomes no longer worthwhile.
