Store-bought minnows are typically not sterile; they are live fish that can carry various bacteria and parasites. While they are often raised in controlled environments to reduce disease, they are not completely free of microorganisms. It's essential to properly acclimate and quarantine them before introducing them to an aquarium or fishing environment to minimize the risk of introducing pathogens.
