wow, I am completely physically destroyed. who could have imagined that crawling through bogs in full sun for 48 hours would obliterate my muscles. the shrimp were below par as well because there were mosquitofish nearly everywhere I stopped. oh well.

doing an assignment on mosquito control, but the answer they clearly want me to give is not totally correct. they want me to say you should put mosquitofish in backyard ponds, but that kills off the pond shrimps which themselves inhibit mosquito oviposition by competing for similar resources. weh

Watched this itty bitty green heron just plowing through the mosquitofish yesterday at a city park. Why are the smallest hunters usually the deadliest? 🐟🌿🪶🌎 #nature

"The #Clearwater release was part of regional prevention efforts in response to locally acquired #denguefever cases.The fish, known as gambusia, feed on mosquito larvae, which officials said helps reduce mosquito-borne illnesses, including dengue fever & West Nile virus."

New study finds the mating antics of animals can alter an ecosystem. Constant sexual harassment of female mosquitofish by males results in depletion of prey lower in the food web due to both sexes needing to maintain the energy for all the chasing and evading 🐠 💨 🐠

Got to flex my ichthyological cred to a non-fish person by being able to explain that the rare black-spotted fish they caught as a kid were melanistic mosquitofish.
