My minnows seem to be reproducing at an alarming rate. I now have hundreds
of fry in my pond. Small ones, big ones, miniature ones, microscopic ones. I hope my koi get hungry soon. -- BenignVanilla Pond Site: www.darofamily.com/jeff/links/mypond Remove MYFRONTALLOBE to email me. |

I don't know if koi make a distinction between koi fry and "other" fry, but
if they don't, better hope the frogs are hungry: koi don't eat fry after they get past the "big eye" stage. If they move like fish, they're safe. I've seen mine spit out fry that got in the way of food! Lee "BenignVanilla" m wrote in message ... My minnows seem to be reproducing at an alarming rate. I now have hundreds of fry in my pond.

I am having trouble moving them from a pond to a small aquarium. What a fate. I can't find any takers and i hate to kill them. I have traded my fry to the local pet store as feeder fish in exchange for fish food. You might call around and see if any of your local stores are interested. |

I can't find any takers and i hate to kill them. Jammer Last couple of years I have bred fantail goldfish in my lily pond. First year with orandas I offered them free, only one person showed up. Next year I had moors and since I didn't have too many I didn't make the offer. So this year the winter survivors and some of the ones I had inside I've been selling for $5 a piece. One lady took 3 orandas and 1 moor and I got a pound of medicated food (yes it was fresh, I was there when they purchased it just 2 weeks before) that sells for over $10/lb. Seems offering them for sell or swapping was the way for me to go. ) ~ jan See my ponds and filter design: http://users.owt.com/jjspond/ ~Keep 'em Wet!~ Tri-Cities WA Zone 7a To e-mail see website |

My minnows seem to be reproducing at an alarming rate. I now have hundreds of fry in my pond. Small ones, big ones, miniature ones, microscopic ones. I hope my koi get hungry soon. 3 months ago I added 9 dozen crapy minnows to my new pond and now I have tens of thousands of minnows too. My neighbor gave me a small rescued painted turtle we put in the pond and he is eating hapily at the minnows. The minows are also keeping the bug larvae down too. The odd thing is that the minnows swim where ever the water is. I have a waterfall about a foot in height that goes into a 4' creek then down into my pond and they swim up the creek and congrigate below the falls. If it rains hard and water 'flows' into the pond they swim into the flow and beach themselves when the flow stops. It makes for turtle food when I throw them back in. I think we should start a bait shop. Rick |
