The Fathead Minnow primarily feeds on algae, small invertebrates, and detritus. In a natural environment, they consume a diet rich in zooplankton and aquatic plants. They also feed on microorganisms and organic matter found in their habitat. This varied diet helps support their growth and reproduction in freshwater ecosystems.
