I wouldn't feed them anything because it just helps to contaminate your tank and they have a tendency to die . But if you wish to feed them as pets in your fish tank then I would think ordinary fish food from a pet store would suffice . ;)

Negatory- I never feed my minnows. Seems to make my bait tank much messier, and who knows if the minnows eat it or not. Saves time not having to clean out the tank so often. Plus, the minnows seem to stay alive just as long, if not longer with keeping them in the same water rather than removing them for the purpose of cleaning the tank.

Play 'em if you wanna fillet 'em!

A old timer told me that if you must feed your minnows to use plain old fashion bread crumbs.

I asked the old timer who has been selling minnows for over 35+ years and that was his response. Bread crumbs.

if you over feed any fish in a tank etc it will more than likely die but if you must feed them you should not feed them more than they will eat in 5 min they are probbally also ok for about a week feed maybe once a week
