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.

Taking care of wild minnows is much like taking care of tropical fish. They need clean water at the proper temperature and ph. Wild minnows may also need to have a current in their tank, and they will do best eating live or frozen foods.
Typically, anything they can fit in their mouth.
I have some baby minnows and the eat goldfish flakes. you should also keep them separated from other minnows because they might try to eat them.
Yes! a tetras and minnows can live together in a big enough tank/aquarium but you need at least five of each kind because they are schooling fish i believe =)
It is generally not necessary to separate minnows from their offspring as minnows are not known to exhibit parental care or aggression towards their own young. However, having appropriate hiding spaces or plants in the tank can offer protection for the baby minnows from potential predators or aggressive tankmates.
Some types of fish that can live peacefully with minnows include danios, guppies, neon tetras, and white cloud mountain fish. It's important to choose fish that are similar in size and temperament to minnows to prevent any aggressive behavior or conflicts in the aquarium. Always research the specific needs and compatibility of different fish species before adding them to a tank with minnows.
Collective nouns for minnows are a shoal of minnows, a steam of minnows, a stream of minnows, and a swarm of minnows
Have a freshwater aquarium or some sort of freshwater aquarium and feed it plants, like lettuce or kale. Make sure to occasionally clean out it's home!
Large aquarium, plenty of food, well filtered, proper oxygenation, adequate housing.
Minnows are small freshwater and saltwater fish that are part of the Cyprinidae family. They are known for their small size, typically reaching only a few inches in length, and are often used as bait for fishing. Minnows are popular aquarium fish due to their hardy nature and peaceful demeanor.
Minnows, should take a while to die. But if you take them from there habitat ( Eg: a pond ) they will die alot quiker. I got some from a pond today, and they stayed alive for 3 hours.
