Pond Boss Forums STOCKING A NEW POND Raising Forage and Bait Will Rosy Reds spawn with Fatheads?

FH and Rosy Reds are both FH. While I have not seen it written I assume they will spawn interchangeably since they are the same species.

From SRAC :

(Pimephales promelas)

The fathead minnow has a thick

body with a blunt head and small

mouth. Fathead minnows are normally

dark olive on the upper

body, with a lighter silvery shade

below, and have a black stripe

along the middle of each side. The

"rosy red" fathead minnow,

developed by Billy Bland Fishery,

is orange shading to a lighter silvery

orange on the lower body.

Male fatheads generally are larger

than females; during breeding,

normal-colored males develop

black heads with several rows of

small breeding tubercles (bumps).
