it depends on the location of the minnow if its in a pond with fish the larger fish wil examples bass brim crappie..... if they are in a stream or creek that has no fish crawdads will eat them
Minnows should be fed once or twice a day, depending on the size of the minnows and how much they eat each time. It's important not to overfeed them to prevent water quality issues in the tank. Feed only as much as they can consume in a few minutes.
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.
I won't lie, Minnows don't have a very long life-cycle. Minnows are first eggs laid near water plants and rocks. After just a few weeks, the minnows hatch into teeny-tiny fry. (baby minnows). The baby minnows stick together into a tiny school. Keeping each other save and feeding together. After a few more weeks, the fry turn into Adult minnows and separate. However sadly, once they are adults they are eaten my bigger fish, and mammals.Olivia the animal lover
Yes, ducks can eat minnows as they are a part of their diet in the wild. However, it is recommended to feed them a balanced diet that includes a variety of foods to ensure they are getting all the necessary nutrients. Minnows can be a good source of protein for ducks.
I found this which may of be use to you :The baby fry feed on small organisms called infusoria and algea. To grow infusoria for feeding just get a jam jar of pond water and run it through some cotton wool or muslin to get out any larger predatorial organsims like daphnia which will eat the infusoria and add hay the water. Leave it for a few days in a dimly lit room at about room temp. and when you next look you should see lots of tiny white dots in the water which, if looked at under a microscope reveal to be lots of types of infusoria in their millions. these can be fed to the fry by adding them to the tank. To get more just add some of the old water containing the infusoria to boiled tapp water with hay and repeat the other proceedours. As the fry grow their diet changes. When they reach about half an inch they can be fed small organisms like daphnia or cyclopses. These can be obtained by dragging a net through water where they can be see or they can be purchased from aquarium dealers. Soon the fish will eat the same food as the adults and will quickly grow.

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.
Minnows are a type of fish. Baby fish are called fry.
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.

I am pretty sure minnows are either carnivores, herbivores, or omnivores.Hope this helped!
No. Fish don't suckle.
