Rosy Red Minnow Questions

[AngesRadieux]

So, I've been thinking of starting a tank with some minnows. They seem cute and they're pretty inexpensive fish. However, I don't really know what they require beyond that they're cold water fish. Do any of you know what would be a good size for a tank of rosy red minnows? And what about filtration, substrate, and cover? Are white cloud minnows the only possible tank mates for these minnows? I don't really want a big fifty gallon tank, so no goldfish. Can anyone here tell me what a good setup would be for these fish so I can decide if I can set up a tank?

I have no idea. Let's bump this thread and see if we can get you some answers.

you may try going to aqua advisor .com ...you can fill in different tank sizes ,filters and tankmates....sorry don't have first knowledge of minnows.

All I know is that their minimum tank size is 15 gallons and that they are schooling fish

Thanks for the input, but I kind of gave up on the idea of getting minnows. Even if I had an adequate tank, I doubt I'd be able to keep many of them alive since they're in overcrowded feeder tanks and I don't think I have the experience to treat them for any diseases they might get from that environment.

I don't know much about them either, but if you want to get them still, disease free, and are comfortable ordering them online, I'd try here; http://www.liveaquaria.com/product/a....cfm?c=830+881
Also, here's a link about them :)
