mosquito fish

So... Mom's pond out front dried up last fall after 90+ years of swimmin' and fishin'

Between Debby and the other recent rain we've had, she has a pond again (sorta... at least there is water in it and not just a dried mud hole).

Unfortunately, the mosquito eggs survived the dry-out fine, and of course, mosquitoes have been layin' eggs a plenty too... But none of the fish survived (duh!). So she has a MASSIVE mosquito problem.

Any suggestions? I'm about to call a bait shop and ask about ordering 1000 fat head minnows. Is this the best bet? I've also got a call out to the IFAS folks at UF, but accordign to the secretary the guy that would know is out of town at a conference this week.

Pass the Off and help a guy out!
