Instructions
Cover the back and sides of your fish tank with dark paper to make the minnows more comfortable.
Fill your fish tank with tap water.
Install your filter and air pump, per the manufacturer's directions.
Use the dechlorination chemical to purify the water. Always follow the manufacturer's directions when dealing with chemicals.
Purchase minnows at a pet store or bait shop. Buy a large number of fish -- you will be likely to get both males and females by default.
Place a couple of pieces of wood in the tank with the fish. They will use the wood for laying their eggs.
Feed the fish once a day.
Minnows will breed and reproduce quickly, of their own accord.
