Well i went out netting today, and for this time of year i wasn't really expecting to get anything since the minnows don't usually come in very good until July, but i did catch 2 minnows. One went back into the water and i took one home to get it identified and to just look at it in my krib tank for now. pics are to come soon for identification.
 
Sweet!
Yesterday i caught around 200 gambusia and around 20-30 crawfish
 
i'm just waiting till the "minnow rush" hits and catfishing is insanely good, and i get a butt-load of free feeders. then hopefully my kribs stay busy over the winter so i can have free, nutritious feeders year round.
 
Bad picture but looks like a fathead minnow to me.

ya thats what i was thinking. sorry for my horrid picture, this guy won't stop moving! how big do these guys get and what can i get him eating
 
He should eat about any fish flake or very tiny pellet and any frozen foods. They max at around 2".

They can reach 4" and will eat jsut about anything. You know those "rosy reds" you find at the LFS? Same species.
