What brought me into the hobby when I was a little girl was turtles.. so the first thing I look for when I find any water is my little shelled friends! And wow red-eared sliders.it's just a shame that people don't think about the environmental issues when they release outgrown pets! This is what inspired me to do my creek video the other day. Just getting out and seeing nature and what kind of wildlife is around! Thanks Bob for sharing! I hope you have a great day! 🙏🌱🐟🌿
enjoyed this so much! out here in western Maryland, we went to a very secluded swamp today and saw some beavers and huge bass spawning. We've got some gambusia that have been living in a heavily leaf-littered tub outside for months now. They definitely do well eating mosquito larvae! Ask Frank Cowherd to reminisce sometime on how they'd get swarms of daphnia back on the farm years ago . . . (something about tossing a cat into the pond and waiting a few days)
I'll bet you your county put those gambusia in the pond. Where I live our counties vector control will give you those fish if you have bodies of water on your property to keep the mosquitoes down. We actually went to their office and they gave us some to put in our livestock tanks we rarely fed them they seem to thrive in there
