Fathead minnows are commonly used as fishing bait but serve a dual purpose when stocked into ponds.  They act as a supplemental forage food for all other species to jump-start your pond. Fathead minnows are sold by the pound.  There are approximately 250 minnows in a pound.  The adult fathead minnow will range from 2 1/2" to 3" in length.  Fatheads are very prolific so usually only a single stocking is necessary.  Fathead minnows may be introduced into a pond or lake in any season.

Stocking Rate Suggestion:  We recommend stocking 10# of minnows per acre for forage.
