Hi all! Thinking of setting up a 20g bait tank, and was wondering if its possible to breed minnows? If so, how? Thanks

Google "breeding fathead minnows"  Lots of info out there about spawning this species.

Matt, I had good luck breeding southern Redbelly Dace and Spotfin Shiners. The dace spawn on gravel and the spot fins like to tuck eggs in cracks between rocks or wood. I had a hang on back filter for current and and under gravel filter. Vacuum up the eggs into a separate tank or they’ll get eaten. Good Luck.
