Rosy Red minnows

[Ryan75]

I was wanting to breed Rosy Red minnows for feeding and fishing bait...I was wondering if anyone could give me a few tips or knew anything about breeding them. Thanks

Make sure it is legal to use them as fishing bait, and even then, wouldn't you be better of with a local minnow? As far as breeding, i've heard that lots of plants are a must, and given decent water quality and feed the rest will take care of itself.

Yes they're legal lol....It is actually a fathead minnow...The Rosy Red is like an albino strain of the fathead (which are brownish black)
