Default Gambusia vs Koi babies

Wendy,

Thanks for the response about gambusia and koi babies.

Hmmm...Gambusia...we have them in abundance. That could be the problem. If I could catch a few of the koi and put them in my long veggie filter, I could perhaps produce a crop. Too hard to get the gambusia out of the main pond.

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

Jim

I haven't had any koi babies since adding the gambusia. I have a ton of
anacharis as well as wall to wall plants, so there's lots of places for
gambusia babies to hide. Well, I had a ton, I removed it 3 weeks ago
when I found it was the reason my bottom drain was clogging. That damn
bottom drain is sometimes more trouble than it's worth...
