Is it hard to breed Rosie Reds?
What kinda temp do they need?
Do they breed alot?

Can i go to the local pet store and pick up a couple dozen rosie reds and put them in a 25g and breed?

Thanks guys.
 
are roseyreds rosey barbs?
 
No Rosie Reds are a Fathead minnow...just red.
 
good luck, it would hardly be worth the time and effort to get them to breed and then get to the size you need to feed them. That is IF you can get them to breed. Cheaper to buy them
 
Hey, I found a site that will answer alot of your questions. Donot underestimate these guys. They have very similiar breeding instincts to cichlids if you get some breeding pairs. You could purchase some cheap and breed them. Here is the site to check out if your really interested http://fishpondinfo.com/rosy2.htm#breed.
According to the site, females breed as young as 6 months and males a bit older. If you purchase them it would be easier.
