Actually they feed best after dark, in the dark they are "deadly" lol. I always fed mine at night, they would skim pellets off the surface much better at night. I always thought the surface feeding if for insects at night. A school of tiny fish will be rounded up at night as well.
Yes just over 1/4 acre sized pond. I am keeping them in now due to their size. I know they’re not rare fish but I really like them and would hate to see them picked off by a bird.
Live aquaponics check out their website for the pellets.
What? It'd be nice if elaborated so we could swallow and digest properly. The gambusia must have been far bigger than the gar?
No the gar were about 3" long, the tank contained a large mixed population of gambusia from newborns to adults, gambusia are very aggressive. If gambusia got to 12" or so they would make some bodies of water dangerous to swim in
In the wild gambusia consume a large number of other small fish to the point of being a threat to gamefish young. The guppies, while capable of eating their own young or other fishes young they are smaller as adults and nowhere near as aggressive.
