I was looking online and I saw I think 2 posts online that you could keep 3 (Three) Rosy Red Minnows In a 5 (Five) gallon tank. Is this true? Please help me.
Hi, I don't understand the "not going to ever feed them" part? Anyways, hi, welcome to fishlore :;hi2 Minnows are a shoaling fish and should be kept in groups of 6 or more. A 5g tank is too small. The only thing I would put in a 5g tank would be a betta or shrimp
Welcome to fishlore! I would go a 20 gallon long minimum for them, and yes they should be in groups of 6 or more because they are schooling fish.
what he said.be careful where you get them as with most fish used for feeder fish that are for sale in stores they have a high death rate.
Hi: He means that although they are usually sold as feeder fish, he intends to keep them; a good choice, I think, as they are quite pretty.
Okay. Thank you guys. If I was to get a tank big enough (THINKING Of 40 gallon fish tank) Would 'BettaSafe' work for rosy's? It says the product can be used for other fish. and what would i need besides 'BettaSafe' to have it so i can add my fish quickly? (At the most 24 Hours)
So I would be all set and be able to add fish after I add water conditioner? I thought there was something else.. Anyways, Thank you!
Is your tank cycled? If not, then you would need to do either a fish-in cycle with the right type of fish or a fishless cycle.
When I wanted rosey Reds I cycled the tank with them.. I got 2 dozen to cycle my 125. Once the weak once die off the other are wonderful to watch swim around Sent from my iPhone using Fish Lore Aquarium Fish Forum
