The Fire tail gudgeon and the Dubolay's Rainbow Fish both heavily predate mosquito larvae and have good reproductive rates. Local government bodies distribute the fish free of charge to people with ponds/dams and also release them into small bodies of standing water to assist with control. Search Tim Hurst and Native fish for mosquito control australia for research papers. Two small native fish have been bred for this purpose for some time in Australia.
