Stocking Gambusia Minnows in my New Ponds!

Үй жануарлары мен аңдар

In this video, I go to a nearby lake and net 50 gambusia minnows to add to my ponds. They are great starter fish and also eat mosquito larvae. Thanks for watching!!

    catching these minnows reminds me of being a kid and catching them in the drainage ditch. I was after crawdads, but got more minnows. The minnow trap worked well for both. I have no clue why I thought it was fun to stay out there for hours after school trying to catch these things, but i did. At the time i didn't know these were a different breed of minnow from the silver ones we would catch at the lake. I just thought they were younger. really enjoying all these videos of the new pond.

    These little fish are quite interesting. They are genetically the same as wild guppies. They are also related to South American Endler's guppies. I successfully bred these with aquarium guppies and then had the hybrids breed with Endler's guppies in my 55 gallon tank. I kept them alive for many years. They made some neat patterns and things you just don't see in the wild or in aquaria hobbies. Neat little fish. They have amazing survival mechanisms.

    So glad you got some American Bullfrog tads and those crawdads are adorable! We had bullfrogs in our koi pond until last summer until a gorgeous Red Tailed Hawk discovered it. ::sigh:: 🐸🐠 rip Oh how this reminds me of early morning seining for chubs to sell to the bait store when I was a teen. I had an overnight trap I baited with bread, as well. Silly water snakes would think "I hit the buffet!" go in the hole, eat their fill then drown. 😢 Of course, taking them out was a tummy tickler 'cause sometimes they hadn't drowned yet. 🐍 But the money was good for the work, 25¢ per 5 small minnows and 10¢ per chub. Nightcrawlers were 10¢ per crawler as well. They sold for 25¢ per chub or crawler and 75¢ per 10 small minnows and worms.
