- This video I walk you thru our buried pool that I raise minnows and talapia. the roses red minnows reproduce like crazy a d keep an endless supply of bait and forage fish for our other pond. Very minimal maintenance to keep a large supplynof bait on hand.

Love what you do! Thanks for sharing!
That’s so good to know! I may give raising them a try.
Thank you for sharing this video
Good Video! Thanks for sharing
Thank you. I think I'm going to give it a try.
Great video!!
Great tip
Thanks! Me and my dad have been going to fish and we spend so much money on buying new minnows!!!
Same here I usally trap them but some asshole took my trap so I’m just gonna farm them
Cool video. This is motivating. I’d like to raise minnows to feed to our livestock. Be well. - Colin
be a great protein source
May have to try that I love em for early crappie fishing!!!
Me too ! I have a 150gal stock tank with a 55gal biofilter attached, I can't even seem to keep a darn tadpole alive ! I bought 2 pounds of tuffies aka fathead minnows . I also have well water on a automatic timer to do a water change every day and still massive minnow kills..
@@johnfarr8933what pump
I feel u on the kids brother 😂
thanks for the video. Very informative I'm planning on raising minnows and duckweed for more self sufficient chicken and duck feed
That’s smart! I want to raise minnows and grow duckweed for our chickens and pigs. Maybe our meat rabbits could eat the duckweed as well.
Your channel is kicking butt dude! 👍🏼
little by little, thanks for checking in. Still not sure how I feel about you selling your boat. lol
@Ivegotbugsflyfishing it probably won't sell. Just seeing if anybody might want it. Like to get in a smaller boat. That's the last thing between me and debt free.
Id have to raise native species to my area to legally fish with them. Looking to start breeding emerald shiners
I have similar size pond but only 2.5ft deep. There are about 24 rosy red minnows, spawning hundreds right now. But the problem is most of them got eaten by the tilapia. The largest tilapia I have is about 7 inches, what is the largest you have in this pond? It amazes me that they can get along. I also have prawns in the same pond that seems to eat tilapia. Daily floating pellets, some fruit peels, and carrot peels, but no grass cutting like you described.
i actually dont have tilapia at the moment, i harvested them and then last year i injured myself pretty bad and had three surgeries and a complete knee replacement. So i didnt really have the ability to do extra projects. I am going to restock next season. But at the time of harvest i had several that were 10 inches plus. Im sure they ate several of the rosy reds, but not enough to compete with the amount of reproduction that the rosy reds do.
@2:27 man's never had butterflied Midwestern lake perch
Ive tried every fish around here and cannot aquire the taste. I guess ill be trying some of these mentioned perched and see if I can like them. Not crossing my fingers. Lol.
I have rosy reds! We are turning our pool into a pond and I got them so our frogs would eat them instead of our goldfish. Wanted to know how to make it easier for them to spawn since a pool has smooth sides with no hiding places. I do have many floating planters with lots of hanging roots so maybe that's enough. Thanks for your videos!
Let me know how it goes I’m about to raise some rosys too, heard cups with rocks/cave-like structure is good for the breeding
@@ironpickX This is the way to go, I did put small clay/plastic potting and throw rocks in to let it sink
If you have plants that are going in the water especially native species that can sometimes be rooted in the resivior as well as the soil around the structure, well that's natured natural air stone
i actually planted some water plants in there yesterday after reading your post. Thanks, thats a great idea, probably will help with water clarity as well.
Thinking about floating a 275 gallon container in my pond for breeding sanctuary
that is genius. I would like to see the end result. I have a bigger pond, that making a breeding area in would be awesome. Thanks for watching.
can we get a video of fishing with the rosy reds?
Do you know how cold of a weather they can endure?
Ty. I need to raise some so bad.
I'm not sure how cold they can handle. They over winter here in Oklahoma just fine. But we rarely get below zero. And if we do get below zero it's not for very long. Very seldom do we get to single digit weather here.
@@Ivegotbugsflyfishing oh ok thank you so much! I am in North East GA. We get below zero sometimes. Haha. Windchill especially.
When I can afford a big container plus the fish, I am going to try it. Sick of not having bait when I need it. And that is often lol.
Chicken feed
Would this be a good source to supplement chickens?
Yes, the chickens love them.
Anyone know many minnows would an egg-laying hen need per day? How big of a pond to sustain 15 egg-laying hens daily?
Did the talapia reproduce there also?
Yes they reproduce like crazy in the summertime. I have to remove them and place them in heated tanks in the winter.
Whats best minnows to raise to sell for $ ? Flat head or red minnows?
I think that would depend on location and state laws. I actually think rosey reds are an offspring of fat head minnows.
@@Ivegotbugsflyfishing would I need a license u think to sell down the road to bait shops ?
Check your local laws, in Oklahoma you do.
Better be careful and check your local laws. Being as they are a variant of a native species, they may be illegal to use as bait and keep in an outdoor pond. I'm not 100% on the minnows, but comet goldfish are highly illegal for those exact reasons and game wardens love to nail you with HUGE fines for doing so.
Except game and fish has no rights on your private property
He said they sell them at the bait shop. Goldfish are only at pet shops.
Bro you can buy any kind of minnow at damn near every
gas station
Not where I live. Lol. One place within 50 miles of my place.
@@Ivegotbugsflyfishing really? Where you from? I’m from all the way up in North Dakota. You can find minnow’s anywhere here, along with leaches, worms, and mealworms
