Hi guys! Its been a while since I've been on. I have a question for you.I also just bought 250k fry from Andersons ( very nice people ) to raise in a small backyard pond to later take out to our ranch. I am getting lots of mosquito larva in the pond and am tired of using a turkey baister to chase them.Ive found some mosq.killer that is safe for a fish pond but the fry are smaller than the larva, do you think they would still be ok? Also when they grow will they eat the larva or will only the mosquito fish do that ? And would mosq. fish eat the larva also?And once again I can only buy things legal in Calif. Thanks a bunch! Kevin

Kevin, everything in the water eats everything that is smaller. The minnows should do a good job of mopping up on the mosquito larvae. I would have questions about a mosquito larvae poison that is safe around fish fry.


It's not about the fish. It's about the pond. Take care of the pond and the fish will be fine. PB subscriber since before it was in color.

caliguy,

Would the poison be BT by any chance?
