This is a video I made recently of some larger breeding and medium-sized Central Mudminnows eating earthworms.  It is a youtube link as I’m not sure how to embed.  I put this together hastily so I apologize for the quality.  I will put together a better video hopefully from the surface and also try recording underwater video of them eating during the daytime.  This one I recorded using a flashlight at night.  They feed like this day or night and I get to enjoy watching them.

Thank you!  I am having a lot of fun with this.  I tried breeding Channel catfish in captivity in containers.  I was not successful but I learned a lot about fish-keeping in the last 10+ years.  The Mudminnow are much easier!  Although, as I tell my wife, “I didn’t do anything as they’ve been breeding without my help for tens of millions of years.”

Well, you put them in the right conditions! I think that I read that they can survive a complete freeze of the water. Fascinating fish for sure.
