I like Gambusia. They are indestructible and can sustain a population, unlike the fathead minnows. They never get big so they are great forage for smaller bass.

Some folks don't like gambusia and believe they rob nests. I don't believe they can swim in anything deeper than a few inches of water without getting gobbled up.
