Buy like a 10 gal. tank, buy an airstone, or sponge filter, sand, food, and obviously the minnows. get the tank, put the sand in, and set up the filter or airstone. Put the minnows in the tank, and feed them. depending on what kind they are, they might get big. For a while, they might just eat bread, or goldfish flakes.

You get either a sinking minnow or a very small minnow. You should only give them what they can eat. You get either a sinking minnow or a very small minnow. You should only give them what they can eat.

You have to catch it in a net and then gently put it into a bag of water so it doesn't get dehydrated and die.

Then you have to gently lower the bag into the bowl and open it so the fish can flow gently from the bag into the bowl.
