Thank you for the nice chuckle... D Kat

P.S. My billions of mosquito fish babies have been becoming noticeable
fewer in number. I have 3 butterfly koi, a fair number of offspring from my
original "feeder" (and one of the original) gold fish, some number of
frogs.... I assume they are playing a part in the reduced number of smaller
fish (both mosquito and goldfish). I do not feed my fish more than they
show interest in after the first few minutes.

Get a baby bass. They wont eat pellets and will suck down your fish.
