Creek minnows

[batjeffers]

Do any yall raise creek minnows?/ i catch them out of our creek the locals call them creek chubs and use them to catch stripped and rock bass. they are very hard and tollerate almost any water conditions. we also have darters but they take colder water conditions and are hard to feed?

really? ive kept darters in warm aquariums and have had no problems with them eating or living in the warm water.

I tried to keep them in aquariums once.

Most died within a week, but a handful managed to survive.

It's best to leave them alone unless you have a coldwater/native aquarium setup.
