Re: [GSAS-Member] Mosquito fish - Mosquito Fish (Gambusia Affinis)

["Monica H" <ninita@hotmail.com>]

Really?  I had no idea.  If they got out they'd have a really hard time 
surviving.  They'd fall 30 feet, and end up on concrete and if they were 
very lucky, they'd slither down to the beach and into the sound.  Will 
killies, whiteclouds, or other livebearers do okay the outdoors?  I have 
some whiteclouds, I just wasn't aware they could be used in a small pond.
Thanks.
Monica
