What type of Minnows are these?

 

[K.J.]

Are they rosy reds?

 

[FBTgirl]

Yep they are Rosey Reds

I love rosy red minnows, but unfortunately they are pretty uncommon around me now. Since it's illegal to keep them in ponds, they are hard to find in and don't seem to be available to order in.
Next time I see them anywhere I'm snapping them up - actually for my tropical tank.

My Rosey Reds are great They are fun to look at and they are so jumpy!

Your the first person I've ever seen that keeps them as pets.

Really? I would think more people would keep them as pets

Most people just use them as feeders though, they have a habit of being in bad shape when you first buy them.
The last time I saw them was a year ago, I think they were bred for feeders judging by the cheap price, and the 2 I got to try died in my make shift 'quarantine' after 3 weeks.

I hope mine dont die like that

Quick question, your not keeping them in a tiny unfiltered tank are you? I trust they are only there for the purpose of the picture?

There tank is much bigger but I had to put them in there for the picture They hide and are to fast in the other tank. So I moved them to my betta tank to get good pics. They are back home now. AZN they are fun. One jumped out of that tank while I was cleaning it and well It led me all throughout the room but I caught him
