loads of stuff will eat them aside from bigger fish, nymphs and a myriad of other predatory inverts up to the bigger end of the scale with kingfishers and herons

....I've spotted several Damselfly nymphs in my pond and lots of Water hog-louse, so nature will be taking its course. The local Kingfisher is kept busy on the small river nearby and there's too many trees to allow Herons to land.

Hi,

Forgive me if this is a stupid question, but outside of the breeding season when male's don't their have bright colouration, is there an easy way to sex three-spined sticklebacks?

Thanks
