Do not use a heater with them...ever. I used to keep them with full ice cover...and the liked it. I would feed fatheads algae flake. A nice gutload as well as general care food for them.

that is good food source; in this pond in NC it has many fat head minnows and cubs they eat the alge very good food souce. I feed it to mine and they grow very fast.
 
flake and dried crushed worms. Even though the minnows can handle the coldwater you should keep it at room temp 68-72. They will eat and breed like crazy. They can take up to 90 degrees and still live but I don't know how well they will breed.

I raise rosy reds in my pond cause I like the color and activity when they swim in schools of a couple hundred. Rosies are a color variation of the fathead so the above food and temps will be perfect for them.
 
so can i feed goldfish flakes or buy goldfishes that eat the flakes and put them in the tank?
