Dragon fly pond

Dennis keeps and raises dragon flies in Kaneohe so that there won't as many mosquitos. As adult dragon fly can eat about 600 mosquitos a day.

Anytime! If I can help you with your questions, please let me know. I may have a question or two, someday.

@gerbilsnfish1962 In Hawaii, the climate is pretty mild. No harsh summers or cold winters. That's why I can keep the guppies outside in partial shade. When it rains, the tank fills up with rainwater. It's great for mosquitos too. When adult mosquitos lay their eggs, the eggs hatch, and the larvae is eaten by the guppis. That way, no future generation of mosquitos!

Hello again from Texas! Your guppies you have, Do you have air for them?

[hawaiidoves]

@gerbilsnfish1962 No, I don't have pump for the guppies. They do well without any pumps or filiters. They seem to like the green water. Just so long as the temperature doesn't get too high.

Here in Texas it gets 100 degrees and sometimes below freezing in the winter. So, I don't know if i should get the guppies or not. I have attracted a few frogs to my pond. Thanks for the tips!

I also have tubs of water all over the yard with guppies in them. The mosquitos lay their eggs, then the guppies eat the swimming larvae...results, no future generation of mosquitos!

Your pond is neat! I have a pond and I'm interested in turning it into a dragonfly pond also! Thanks for sharing!

One year i found around 40 dragonfly shells in my pond. But there was only one dragonfly flying around my backyard. pretty strange.
