Crappie Minnows will eat any bread or old cereal but for the best results a small flake fish food would provide the best results. For the term crappie minnow: It is a alternative name for the Bullhead minnow (Pimephales vigilax). The minnow is commonly used in crappie Fishing hence the name.
The scientific or taxonomic name would be Pimephales promelas.
The seven levels of classification are Kingdom, Phylum, Class, Order, Family, Genus and Species. Respectively, a fathead minnow is Animalia, Chordata, Actinopterygii, Cyprinformes, Cyprinidae, Pimephales and P. promelas.

There are over 200 species of minnows, which belong primarily to the family Cyprinidae. This family includes various genera such as Pimephales, Notropis, and Cyprinus, encompassing a wide range of sizes and habitats. Minnows are commonly found in freshwater environments across North America, Europe, and Asia. Their diversity makes them a significant group in freshwater ecosystems.
Yes, there are orange-colored minnows, such as the orange variant of the common guppy or the orange variant of certain species of the genus Pimephales, like the fathead minnow. These fish can exhibit bright orange hues due to selective breeding or natural variations. Additionally, some other small fish may appear orange due to similar genetic factors or environmental influences.
No, fatheads and mud minnows are not the same. Fatheads, or fathead minnows (Pimephales promelas), are small freshwater fish commonly used as bait or in aquaculture. Mud minnows, on the other hand, refer to several species in the family Umbridae, often found in brackish or freshwater environments. While both are small fish, they belong to different families and have distinct habitats and characteristics.
