I think they usually only give out 4-8 fish, but if you let them know you have an involved AP System they might give you more, after all, left unchecked we could produce lots of mosquitoes.

Thanks Jim Troyer

Good reminder and information, Robert!

I've never had mosquito larvae in my AP system, but I noticed today that we have a lot in our cattle troughs. We'll be starting with some feeder fish, then get mosquito fish next time we're out Phoenix way.

In one of my raft beds, I netted in a single scoop with a 4" net enough to raise mosquito fish. I bet there were a thousand.

No more, I put 40 mosquito fish distributed over 7 tanks. It will be interesting to see how fast they disappear.
