Rosy Minnows (50 pack)

Rosy Minnows are a popular and affordable feeder fish, commonly known as Fathead Minnows or Rosies, used to feed medium-to-large predator fish. They are also often used as bait and as hardy, starter pond fish. Each pack contains approximately 50 fish, with a potential variation of 5% due to their small size and bulk packing. These minnows are exceptionally durable and can handle a wide range of conditions, making them ideal for both aquarium and pond environments, though they thrive best with an airstone and good filtration. They are known to tolerate temperatures ranging from the high 30°s to the high 80°s (F).

Tankmates: They get along with other peaceful, cool-water fish such as goldfish, danios and white cloud minnows.

Good to know: Rosy minnows are a golden-pink form of the fathead minnow. They are hardy enough for outdoor ponds and often breed there.
