Mosquitofish, 20

Florida biologist with a masters in fisheries and aquatic sciences. I have just begun my own business in aquatics, among other things, after 15 years as a biologist at a university. I have over 10 years' experience in pond and aquarium building and nurturing. I specialize in native tanks and ponds (southeast United States), as well as creating small and large aquatic ecosystems.

Mosquitofish (Gambusia holbrooki) are used for mosquito control, in pond ecosystems, and as feeders for larger fish and other aquatic pets. They are a key component of pond ecosystems. These fish generally do not make good tank mates with other kinds fish, but do well in ponds, water troughs, rain barrels, and the like. They are tolerant of varying dissolved oxygen and temperature and pH fluctuations and make ideal fish for standing water bodies in which you want to control mosquitoes.
