Sounds like you will have our problem when you hope for baby koi or
goldfish: too many predatory minnows. We have done the minnow trap route
to
pull hundreds out. Will continue doing that for a while. We hope for
baby
koi this year.

I think traps will be in order this year. As soon as things start getting a
bit warmer, I plan to do some cleanup, so maybe I'll dump the traps in then.

I had to do a bit of websurfing on this to find some good pictures, but I
think this one might make you wonder if someone was just trying to write a
good hook story, bait & switch, never mind the puns: Click on red-bellied
Pacu

See those molars? Can't see 'em on that Thames fish, so I'm bettin' that
was a pacu, not a piranha. ;o) ~ jan
