Ok the plant pond may or may not be fishless, I havent seen the trout fingerlings that I put in there in ages. If it is fishless I am wondering about leaving it fishless to allow invertebrates to thrive but I dont want it to become a mozzy factory. I am wondering if enough carnivourous insect life will build up to control mozzy larvae? I have just been wading through the azzola cover and there are surprising numbers of shrimps and water lice etc in there, I even saw a damselfly nymph. My thinking is that enough non-mozzy invertebrate life might over-winter to keep a good population of damselfly and dragonfly nymphes going.
Your thoughts, thanks.
