I had mosquito fish and they nibbled at my Eastern's feet all the time. They multiplied in the summer like crazy. Her feet were a mess. Then I realized that I didn't need them cause Abby (eastern painted) was eating all the mosquito lave'. I put a few rosie reds, which she also ate. She also ate the duckweed and some of the water hyacinth, but never the water lettuce. I put a load of snails in there thinking that they would eat any algae, but she ate all of them.
The duckweed spread all summer, and so did the water lettuce and water hyacinth. She just couldn't eat them fast enough.
