Gambusia vs Koi babies

Hi Jan,

Nasty choice he Kill gambusia and have mosquitos or have gambusia and no
koi babies.

I just can't see being totally without protection from West Nile and itch.
It would be no problem to clear gambusia out of one veggie filter for a
while, but it is a problem to catch koi and put them in there. I am not
even sure which are male.

I wonder if there are any small fish that eat mosquitos but not baby koi?

I wonder what John Rutz does in his pond? He got baby koi.

Maybe I'll post the question.

Thanks for your input.

Jim

Anybody else have a problem with koi babies after introducing gambusia?

Other than I never got any koi babies until the gambusia were killed off
one winter. Seems they don't do well if one circulates the water, even
slowly during the winter. I had baby koi the next spring growing up in the
filter, where the gambusia use to get as thick as in the pond. ~ jan
