Toledo Goldfish Rosie Red Minnows - Versatile Live Fish Perfect for Aquariums or as Feeder Fish for Ponds - Small, 1,000 Count

Arrived double bagged and all alive and healthy looking. Small fry but perfect for growing feeder fish for my turtle.

It’s been over a year since I bought these minnows. They are absolutely all healthy and thriving. I will definitely be purchasing more.

I had a really good review for the guppies that came from this farm not long ago; I bought 100 rosy red large size this time though, five were dead when I received them and I may have 80 left a few days later. They keep dying a few here and there. I do have a little elevated nitrite level now that I’ve stocked fish in my aquaponics fish tank. I do not think the fish farm can do much after the fish get in the customers hands. I may be killing them with my nitrite spike. I’m gonna say that they try, and a lot is up circumstances. I wormed them the day after I received them and I treated them for disease today in case any of them were sick. Hopefully they’ll stop dying here and there. One issue I had was they wouldn’t eat, like whatever I fed them they didn’t eat. I bought commercial minnow food off of Amazon and they like that, but that was after day three, and I was worried that them not eating was hurting them, and it probably was.

Gotta give the company 5 stars. And here’s why. 1- shortly after order, I was contacted in app by a representative informing me of when my fish were to be shipped & when to expect them 2- received my order in 24hrs 3- only lost 2 fish, they got caught up in the bag creases during shipping 4- zero floaters 24 hrs after pouring them into my pond 5- the little fish are just cool as hell & really stand out in the water column! They definitely add that extra bit of “Zen” to the water garden & pond. 😎 Just placed and received a second order. Just as perfect as the first time. 748 arrived alive, 2 got the smush during packing & shipping. So long as they make the winter here, next year should be a blast to watch & enjoy. Thnx again T-Fish!!!

I would NOT RECOMMEND this purchase. I was initially impressed with overnight live delivery, all fish arrived in bright orange color, all alive. HOWEVER, within 24 hrs I was scooping out 25+ dead minnows from my 40 gallon tank, with no apparent cause of death, except red blood spots on the bodies. I did an immediate water change, and within a few hours and for the next 24 hrs I was again scooping out anywhere from 6 - 12 dead fish - again - no apparent cause except the red blood spots on the bodies, and I've been cleaning dead fish out of my aquarium no less than 2xs a day ever since. My research as to what could be happening says disease is the most likely culprit. Now - a bit of history for me: I have a 55g community tank - all fish are 2.5 yrs old, with 2nd & 3rd generation platys. I have never experience mass die off. I also have a 40g Axolotly tank with 4 Axolotls age 6-18 months old. And I have a 150 g. pond with 19 - 3rd generation goldfish that are 2.5 yrs old (parents were eaten by racoon invasion). So it's not like I don't know what I'm doing. I'm not an expert, but I'm not a beginner either. Today is day 5 since these fish were delivered, and I wake up to a cloudy tank with about 25+ dead fish. Yesterday I cleared 6 dead fish upon waking, a water change, and scooped 6-8 dead fish every 4-5 hours. I have contacted the seller, no response, and I am at a loss. These are pretty little fish, altho I did buy them to feed to Axolotls - but I cannot feed them because clearly there is a disease of some sort and so now I feel I bought 100+ fish just to watch them die and spend my time scooping dead fish and doing water changes. As far as I'm concerned this is a COMPLETE WASTE OF $$ and will never purchase these again. Furthermore, the return policy states that I will have to pay a 50% restocking fee to return. I want a total refund but I'm not sure how that works since I didn't save any of the dead fish. So I get burned all the way around. I will update this review upon seller response. 8/16/21 UPDATE: I never got a response from the seller about my issues with these fish. I attempted to use Tetra Lifeguard to cure the fungus rapidly overcoming these little fish, and it only seemed to exasperate the issues!! I took all the fish out of the tank, put them in a whole new bare naked tank with a salt bath recipe and they all survived for 24 hrs and I thought BINGO! But between 36 & 48 hrs they were all dying off again. I literally watched on an hourly basis as they took a turn for the worst. I finally requested a return, but they all died before I could return. Never got to use them as intended (feeders) and for 10 days I scooped dead fish and performed water changes trying to save these little fish. A total waste of $$, time, and emotional investment in this situation. I am glad it's over as I am exhausted. As I've stated before, in my 40 yrs of aquatic hobby, I have never experienced such massive die off without cause or cure. I will never make this mistake again.

Arrived alive and survived the winter in an outdoor pond

Great packaging I only lot 2 out of 190 will definitely buy again

Lost 15 to 20 at a time or more, by 2 days after arrival they were all dead. Just ordered another 100 to see if they make it but at 80 bucks a pop?
