rosy red minnows

Can anybody out there tell me where I can buy rosy red minnows? I
started breeding these fish three years ago but unfortunatley I lost
the lot through disease and I can't for the life of me find anymore.
Any pointers or ideas.
Regards Jules

I got mine at PetSmart. But more importantly, you were able to kill them? I
tossed six into my pond two years ago, and I have 100's if not 1000's every
spring.

Rosie red minnows have been banned for sale in my state, Washington. Your local
pet store will know if they are available in your state and you can start from
there.

USAan pet stores sell them as feeder fish. I dropped four in to cycle
the pond and now I have thousands.

Sounds like a good candidate for my "minnow pond" project. I have a "farm"
pond (In quotes because I'm not a farmer; they have to work too hard)
stocked with large-mouth bass. It was originally also stocked with fathead
minnows, but they seem to have become extinct. The plan is for a smaller
pond upslope a bit to breed minnows to be netted and dumped in the main
one.

I bought mine at a sporting goods store. I bought a dozen, now I have
thousands! Excellent fish for mosquito control.
