Ebony's Pearls

The water isn't actually "standing" because you need to add to it daily because of evaporation - at least if Arkansas is as good at sucking up water as Oklahoma is. Stocking the mini-paddy with mosquitofish (http://www.lawestvector.org/MosquitoFish.htm) and minnows (http://www.fishpondinfo.com/rosies.htm) will help control any mosquito population is better than using carp because the water level is too low for carp. Fathead minnows are prettier than mosquitofish, but both work and both are cheap enough. The only problem with them is having to feed them if you don't get enough mosquitoes.
