They'll eat pretty much everything, including insect larvae, so they should be at least some help in controlling mosquitoes. Do note that crucian carp tend to outcompete other fish in small ponds, and can be hard to eradicate once present. If your pond already has an existing fish population, think twice before introducing them. | |
