rosy reds trying to get some food.

[Steve knight]

I forgot to bring my phone or you could have seen them trying to attack a pellet. I swear I am surprised a koi has not swallowed one by mistake. I just put in some duckweed too. you can see the pregnant one too. they are not quite as bright in person but better then what they look like in the pet store.

how do you get ytoutube videos embedded?

Quote to see the code.

where do you get that option? I went through all the choices in youtube and never found that one.

You should be able to just copy the utube url into your post and it just appears after you submit.

Just like j.w. said, copy and paste the url (the http://www.....) and the forum automatically adds the rest. Easy peezy.

Also, did you record that with an iphone? If so, you can turn it sideways and it will adjust automatically so you'll have a video with more normal dimensions.

ok just need to use the paste url button. that was a edit by the phone when I sent it to youtube.

Great video. Thank you. I do have one question for you though. What are you going to do with the rosy reds come winter ? I see that you probably live in about the same zone as me. Or is your pond deep enough to sustain them through the winter ?

 

[Steve knight]

the water never got below about 35 degrees even when it was 19 out. I have a 50 watt submersible heater I turn on. they were fine this winter.

here is another one with a feeding ring. boy look at them go. then here comes the leviathan and scoops up the food.

Rosies are native to the Northern US, so as long as the water doesn't freeze solid, they survive just fine. That's why I have them in my pond too - very low-maintenance.

Steve - I've had the same thoughts about my koi eating the rosies. I don't know if its ever happened, but the rosies sure don't seem to have any fear of the koin!
