ML - I talked to one of our NE aqualculturists who has Gambusia available here in NE. He said that every pond he has stocked them at here in NE they have all disappeared within a year, he also said they were somewhat slow moving and easy prey for other fish. I wonder if the cooler water temps we have here every fall and winter make them easy prey with cooler temperatures. Could this be one of the reasons they do well in a southern climates but not so well in northern ones? Just a thought. His recomendations were to supplement FH's periodically instead of Gambusia for a better forage base, FH's are also a lot cheaper too.
