Caryl Posted February 23, 2008 Report Share Posted February 23, 2008 Did you actually see the cats get the minnows? I would have thought it more likely cats would go for the bigger goldfish and the minnows were eaten by the goldfish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cookieskennels Posted February 23, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 23, 2008 and the minnows would sit on top of the oxy weed so made easy targets, hahah the big fish already know to stay away from thecats lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heir Posted February 25, 2008 Report Share Posted February 25, 2008 maybe if the minnows died the goldfish ate them. im pretty sure they only have annual life cycles? maybe 2 years?? so they dont last very long naturally. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caryl Posted February 25, 2008 Report Share Posted February 25, 2008 When I had minnows they certainly lasted a lot longer than 2 years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alanmin4304 Posted February 25, 2008 Report Share Posted February 25, 2008 Minnows would live a lot longer in a pond than a heated tank I think. Barring cats and goldfish of course. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Faran Posted February 25, 2008 Report Share Posted February 25, 2008 Hi Cookies, Welcome to the forums This would get a lot more responses if it was in the Private Trade and Exchange section. I have a good batch of WCMMs growing out from my lot that have spawned in my pond. What size and how many are you after? Pickup available in Upper Hutt so not a huge journey for you, smaps says it's 61km to Masterton. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
