You so need rosy red minnows but just don't know it yet

I have a tank with a handful of Rosies and a few larger Comets. Its one of my favorite tanks to watch.

I bought mine from petsmart and kept them in a black water set up in a plastic tub with neon tetras and musk turtle. They soon go from skinny to fat and grown 50% larger. I have not lost 1 single minnow from the original 10 I bought. I think they are best enjoyed from a pond, top view set up like koi & rice fish.

I so agree w/ this video. I have three 20 gal tanks full of them. I started out w/ the last 7 in a tank (to save their lives). They so appreciated it that they reproduced like bunnies. I give them lots of plants. They love it and they're very active and attractive in their tanks. 😂

These were the first fish I ever had and my Aunt laughed and said they wouldn't last 5 Minutes, they lived about 4 years. Unfortunately they are no longer alowed in the uk.

i agree! ive had a tank for them along with some of my home bred black mollies, i got 12 and i stil have 12 the are definately great and beautiful aquarium fish

What happened to the channel. I just stumbled into this very hidden gem only to find out it's been inactive for 4 months. I hope you are doing well thse are some really good videos. Very informative and I enjoy them as well!!

This is cool! It's hard to find anyone who loves rosy minnows. I've been keeping them in an outdoor 300 gallon container pond since last summer. I had a lot die off from the first couple batches, the survivors successfully bred, but all but two of the fry died. Then I got about 40 more from a fish store right at the end of summer, and for whatever reason they were super healthy. Most of them survived, and are still healthy. Since it is middle of winter, I've kept the pond covered too much for spawning (it's heated), but hopefully they will start making babies in a couple months.

Rosie Reds are the base of my 3000 gallon pond. They have successfully survived the freezing winter and I'm waiting for the spring breeding to begin.

Fascinating discourse on a truly underrated fish. thank you :)

Wonderful video. My wife has wanted to get these fish for a while, this may give me the confidence to try.

I’ve watched several videos on roseys,, this by far is the most informative.. thanks. 👍🏻🇺🇸

Forgot to mention that this was a very high quality and well edited video. You obviously did your research and applied many different methods to your minnows. The video was simple and concise.

nematol treatment, and garlic infused food to boost the immune system I've used in a similar situation

Man I have to pay 40 cents CAD which is a scam but I keep 7 of them in a heavily planted 20 gallon with platies

Very interesting vid. Some people use sea salt to kill parasites, worms, and the like. You never mentioned salt as a medical solution. Thank you for sharing a beautiful fish.

I love these guys. I keep them in my patio pond and they eat all the skeeters.

Love these fish. Bought about 30-40 over a few months in their own tank. Got about 10 to survive, put them in my large Koi pond outside and some are 3+" and the orangey color looks awesome from above. Treated for a few weeks with Paraguard and Metroplex BTW.

Glad to hear its not just me. Bought a dozen 3 survived, bought another dozen and 1 survived. Then because the school was so small 1 fish became a bully and had to be confined to his own tank.

Really good stuff Sonny. And I subscribed.

good job, that was a lot of work but those fish turned out nice !
