My water temps are finally creeping into the 60's, and I've been thinking about this all Winter, so yesterday I bought 100 rosie minnows for my pond. In the past I've had bad luck with survival of new ones... I have about 20 which are 3-4 years old. I know the weather loaches were responsible for eating all the eggs the rosies have been laying each year, but I wonder if they weren't also eating the new rosies that I kept trying to add?
Well I think all the loaches are out of the pond now, so this year maybe I'll start to see some surviving babies from all the fish, including the rosies. And if the new guys survive, there will be even more breeding next year. I already love the look when a dozen rosies school together and go swimming up and down the river, so a hundred of them schooling should be impressive!
