Wow, Eastland, you have actually observed them robbing nests in 2 to 5 feet of water? Maybe we aren't talking about the same fish. The Gambusia in my ponds rarely venture more than a foot or two from shoreline where a certain death awaits those that do so. Further with their small size and lack of color, there is no way I could visually see these fish robbing nests in 2 to 5 feet of water where my BG and LMB nest. Perhaps with some elaborate equipment and very clear water, but no way in my ponds.
