I caught a lot of fish in the canal by my house the other day, and they seem to be hungry. I am pretty sure they are minnows. I caught them with using bread as bait, and they are about 2 inches long. They look like normal fish, and I have been giving them little pieces of bread. However, I was wondering if there is any other king of food that I can give them. I have been keeping them in the same canal water I found them in, so they can eat the bacteria and other things in there. Should I give them grass and leaves? The canal I found them in also has some overgrowth of plants, but I am not sure if they eat it or just live in it. Also, what should I stick in the tank to make them feel more homey, should I put a rock, grass, leaves, or anything else?
Thanks alot!
P.S. here are some photos that look just like them:
