Right out of the bag they formed a group and immediately started hunting
down the larva. Focused, cold-blooded hunting machines...

Bah! Gambusia ... damnbusia. Those stupid fish prefer to eat other
fish's fry than eat mosquito larvae.

For real mosquito larvae hunters, you should look at getting
some Fundulus (Killiefish) commonly called topminnows. And, these
are smart enough to dive into vegetation or bury themselves in the
mud when they sense danger. Plus they are a lot more beautiful and
graceful than Gambusia.

I am that way with spiders. I used to scream if I saw one walk across
the floor. Heaven help me if one touched me because I would jump out of
my skin. Well I have faced my fears a little bit by doing a lot of
primitive camping the last 6 years. We camp in a canvas tent with no
bottom to keep the crawley things out. We have had a snake in the tent
before and I try not to think about the other things which get in the
sleeping bag.

Don't let it get to ya to much and one day you will be able to hand feed
your fish without fear.

My LFS has the large lionfish, but I am waiting for them to get some of
the dwarf varieties before I get one. From all the info I have on them
they are easy to keep, just don't get to close to them or face a wicked
sting.

Does anyone keep Scorpionfish? I am not big on sal****er so I don't
know. But, people do keep Lionfish (like Capt Picard in ST-TNG) which
also has venemous spines.
