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



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

A plague upon this fish. It's destroyed or destroying native fish ecosystems throughout the US. The conservation biologists call it 'damnbusia.'

Put some killies, white clouds, livebearers (other than damnbusia) in your pond. This way if they escape there's little/no chance they'll overwinter (unlike damnbusia) and spread further into washington's water systems.
