I have three perch minnows, what should I feed them?

I like perch, they are very hardy, i'll post some pics when I get a chance, they move around a lot.
 
Good job. I have caught so many fish I wanted but later realized it would be best to let them go.


Oh yeah, there are no such thing as "perch minnows". I hear a lot of people call baby fish minnows but minnows are actually a family of fish called cyprinids that include things like shiners, chubs, tiger barbs, goldfish and carp. Just thought you would like to know :)
 
I just called em minnows because they were fry, I'm actually begnning to doubt they were perch, they were about 3-4 "

Here are some pics of them a few minutes before I released, one is of the tub they were in for a few days, you can see my crawdad poking out, hes doing great and likes hunting, i'll let him go later maybe:

They were stuck in a tiny bay my neighbour dug I think i did them a favor by fishing them out since they couldn't have gotten back to the lake.

Just the lake across the street, the pictures are sort of crappy quality and the fish were stressed from moving them around, you can sort of see their stripes but they were faded when they were calm you could more see their stripes and they also had two top dorsil fins so thats were I got the notion of perch from. http://www.outdooralabama.com/fishing/images/perchyellowthurlowhornsby.jpg <- is of a more mature one, mine werent nearly as big.

If it was a native killifish i'd be really happy and pissed I let em go lol.
 
I think that ksiaquatics was right about them being somekind of killie, where there is one there will be more.
