There's a pond at Tiong Bahru park which I feel would benefit from having guppies. Lots of mosquitos there. The guppies could help to prevent them from breeding.

There's a huge koi pond in my estate that I'll contribute to if I face this issue. So far have not had any spawns so no 'problem'.
But strange that the guppies I see there in the pond like almost all female??

Not female guppies. My place nearby also i found the guppies lookalike but later found out they are actually Gambusia aka mosquitofish.

Thanks bro for your suggestions.
I found a pond in garden where my parents estate is. And they are looking for guppy donation.

Yes you're right!
Will introducing guppy culls into the pond be alright then?

I've kept some mosquito fish in the past, aggressive buggers.

mosquito fish will likely wipe out the guppies..
