I went to the pet store and got 12 rosy red minnows, popped two into their swimming container and my pekin, Snow White, gobbled them up. So I put the other 10 in my rain barrel and I hope they will keep the mosquitoes down and breed into some yummy duck treats.

Supposedly if u put fish in the rain barrel they will control the bug pop. I'm hoping they breed and make more duck treats as well. I'm going to put a a floating plant in it as well.
