Anybody have some experience with breeding minnows. I was thinking of setting up a 10 or 20g tank for breeding of fatheads. They would be used manly for feeders so it doesn't have to be anything special.

Here's an article I found. I have some rosey reds and regular fat heads in this set up but no spawning as of yet.

Go the NANFA website, www.nanfa.org, and check out the American Currents index. This goes back to the 1970s and there's an amazing diversity of articles that have been written so that no one has to reinvent the wheel (we hope!). AC is archived on CD now, so for small money you can have a huge archive of collected wisdom and all that.

I don't know if it's the same one, but he wrote one on MFK along with some other articles: Native Fish Articles
