They are cheap, very common, and somewhat nice-looking. They are also extremely easy to breed, as you don't need to make any special accommodations for them.

Azrael_Darkness Fish Addict Posts: 547 Kudos: 420 Votes: 8 Registered: 26-Oct-2004	So lets pretend i have a 10 gallon or a 20 gallon. What would you recomend for both setups? I don't currently have any of those minnows available locally thats the only problem, any other suggestions?

For a species that's easy but won't overpopulate, you might look into White Cloud Mountain Minnows. Given a lot of java moss and some space, these guys will keep the tank populated but not overstocked for years to come. -Molly Visit shelldwellers.com!
