Hmmm.  I've been really wanting to find some nymphs to buy, and hopefully get the adults to hang around my pond.

But I read the part about how they eat your fish... Hmmm. ... Not sure I want them now.  I wonder if they'll learn to eat the easy to find fish pellets, instead of trying to catch my live precious fish.

Hmmm.  Maybe dragonfly babies are meant to live in wild ponds, and not in garden koi ponds. 

Thanks for the link.  I will keep it, as I may decide afterall, to buy some.

While they may eat your fry they will eat all manner of other bugs, from water aphids to Mosquito larvae (much easier to catch!!) Every spring I get tons and I love it! Last year I shared a bunch of photos like this....

I love having them out there! sign of a healthy ecosystem! I think you have much more to gain than lose... Andy
