What are rosey red minnows? Someone suggested I need them instead of fhm. They claim they spawn about 7 times a year. Mostly I am just curious about them. I'm pretty sure my stocking program is set up quite well for now.
Dear Alcohol, We had a deal where you would make me funnier, smarter, and a better dancer... I saw the video... We need to talk.

If pigs could fly bacon would be harder to come by and there would be a lot of damaged trees.

If there is limited predation, the rosey red genes may display more regularly.
I stocked my 0.34 acre experimental forage pond with 100 FHM. 90 were rosey reds, 10 were the natural coloration. In one year to population was 50/50 with no fish predation. By year two with the introduction of HSB and albino CC, the population had flipped to 90% natural, 10% rosey red. Almost 3 years in it's extremely rare to even see a rosey red. I think I saw two last year but still have thousands of FHM.
