Help me pick out fish

(Anonymous) 2016-07-31 01:52 am (UTC)(link)
So a presumed raccoon came through our yard last week, raided our half whiskey barrel water garden, and ate all or nearly all of our mosquito fish, so now the barrel is full or mosquito larvae. I put a decorative metal grate over the barrel and it seems to have stopped the masked bandit. When I went to get more mosquito fish, the store was nearly out and they gave me four tiny fry that are almost the same size as the bigger larvae, which I haven't seen since and which haven't made an appreciable dent in the mosquito population.

So until the store restocks mosquito fish, should I get a betta (which might explode from overeating since apparently mosquito larvae are their favorite food, but I'd only be able to keep one) or a couple of goldfish (which are messy crappers and don't necessarily prefer larvae, but I could keep three or four)? I live in southern California and have kept bettas in unheated tanks, goldfish do fine outside here but can get 6-8 inches long and live a long time.

I'd get guppies, myself, but of the options you listed I'd go for the betta because giant goldfish creep me out a little.

I know very little about this but I would not like it if you got a fish and it exploded. :(

This. Or check other stores locally and see if they have mosquito fish.
