My god, that baby is amazing. thanks for the real demo. I got some in my pond to control mosquito but never know how this works. Some from county some from wild.
I have a guppy tub in my yard. it has been there for one month. During this month I have seen some mosquitoes flying over the surface or even landing on the water hyacinth, but I have Never seen a mosquito larvae in the tub. I wonder if those mosquitoes are smart enough to not place their eggs there, or if they do it. the larvae gets eaten once the egg hatches. some days I even find insect wings on the surface and I wonder if that was an insect that got eaten while landing on the tensión surface of the water.
Gambusia holbrooki has been introduced all over the world for "fight" mosquitoes. However, has been proven that in the wild they prefer to eat other thing, a wide array of other invertebrates, fish and amphibians eggs, with great negative repercussions on native species and ecosystems. They even predate native mosquito predators, effectively increasing the mosquito populations. Please, don't release this species in your pond or in the wild thinking of "fighting" the mosquitoes. www.cabi.org/isc/datasheet/82089 www.iucngisd.org/gisd/species.php?sc=617#:~:text=GISD&text=Eastern%20mosquito%20fish%2C%20Gambusia%20holbrooki,as%20a%20mosquito%2Dcontrol%20agent.
That Fish: Gosh! There’s so many! *when another fish comes to water* The fish: hi mate! Another fish who comes to water: hey mate! I can help you eat these things The fish: really?! Another fish: ye! The fish: thank you
They only eat mosquito larvae is nothing else is available, where i live in australia they tried using them to fight against mosquitos but instead they just ate other species fish eggs.

Hey Frick, Here's what makes Gambusia different and a more effective control on mosquitoes. Other fish, like bass and bluegills only eat tiny prey like mosquito larvae during the fish's fingerling stage, as they grow, they switch to larger prey. Gambusia NEVER stop eating mosquito larvae during their entire life because they stay small. Plus, they breed constantly. Thanks for the comment!
