Hello. I am looking to buy a small colony (15-25) of mosquito livebearer fish to put into my outdoor pond for the summer. I bid on and won a group on Aquabid but it looks like I am going to get burned because they did not ship. Their account is now under investigation, but I dont hold out any hope of getting either my fish or my money back, so I decided to try here. If you can help me out in any way, PM me and I will get back to you. Thanks, David

Feeder guppies and/or endlers can be used as an alternative, if you want something easily accessible that costs around the same price, if not cheaper. :)

I use guppies, and by the end of sept. I have some GREAT fish that the lfs pays top dollar for, save the fry and do it again next year.

The same feeder guppies that the LFS has should be fine. They might even be gambusia spp

They are free from the City in our area if you can prove yo have an outdoor pond.
