Mudminnows are tougher than nails. They would be a lot better candidate for
mosquitoe control than dambusia. They actually get right up in where alot of
these larvae live. Things that look like a depression full of wet leaves.
Tiny ponds in the middle of the woods that either look like they dry up come
summer, or freeze solid even in a mild winter. ( How did they get their to
begin with???) Hot stagnant ditches, they hold on there as well. Being able
to breathe air is a big plus. As long as they stay damp, they will live. I
have found them alive in steaming hot mud in the July sun. The list is
endless. Fascinating fish to say the least.
