Fathead Minnow thank you thread

[ewurm]

I would like to thank this great little fish, I have kept them as residents in the past. I have fed hundreds to my native monster, and they are a primary forage of all my favorite native predators. I catch them at my parents home on beautiful Lake Minnewaska in Minnesota! Recognize! Thanks to the Fathead Minnow!

They are also used in water toxicity tests and in lab experiments, they are a pretty usefull fish. I keep a few in my community tank that were from the bait shop, figure I would give them the life they didn't expect. They are also really easy to breed.

They are cool fish. I used to have some in my pond

Just remember that they have a pretty high thiamase content so should be mixed with other types of food.

Thiaminase? I usually don't feed feeders anymore, only as a treat.
