Lionhead Goldfish outdoors
Who gives a shit about your minnows, Predation is part and parcel of
nature so get used to it. On Sun, 17 Dec 2006 14:56:22 GMT, "Gail Futoran" wrote: "Zëbulon" wrote in message ... "Gail Futoran" wrote in message ... [snip] I think the wildlife keeps the minnow population in check; at least, I don't seem to have an overabundance of minnows, and they do breed like rabbits. I assume you mean rosy-red minnows? Yep. Sorry, I should have specified. I recall when I bought the first batch the salesperson asking what I was going to feed them to, and I replied they were going into my pond. I got an odd look. Ok, so feeder fish probably aren't the best stock for ponds, but I'm a minimalist ponder, and the minnows have done great, despite their dubious beginnings. I have few rosy reds left; most are now the steelhead color (if that's the right word). Their numbers are slowly dwindling here for some reason. I have a few dark ones left but all the gold ones are gone. I've not found any dead ones so think some predator is picking them off. -- ZB.... Frugal ponding since 1995. rec.ponder since late 1996.
