In a house
I went to my baitshop today and picked up some minnows. I asked the guy at the store what they were and he said they were bullhead minnows. Not catfish fry, but a minnow called a bullhead minnow. Anyone here know anything about them? It seems their care is easy like rosy reds.
 
just another type of minnow. Probly prefers cooler watter then tropical fish. wich ide actualy bet on
 
Bullhead Minnow (Pimephales Vigilax)

They get about 4 inches

Bullhead minnows are often mistaken for
Bluntnose Minnows ( Pimephales notatus)

They look similar but side by side you can easily tell them apart.
