Mosquito Patrol

I have a random pot with a Jade plant in it that is always full of water - not sure how it has lived for so many years. It is a mosquito breeding ground. Put some adolescent Medaka in there today to keep the population in check. Duckweed for cover, elodea for oxygen. Fingers crossed it works!
