The Golden Shiner Minnow (Notemigonus Crysoleucas)

Golden Shiner Minnow

Golden Shiner Minnows can be found throughout most of the US. Much like the fathead minnow, the golden shiner exhibits abundant reproduction. Unfortunately, this species is slightly less tolerant of extreme environmental conditions.

Golden Shiner Minnows can be found in large schools around submerged structures where they primarily feed on zooplankton. Live Golden Shiner Minnows spawn several times throughout spring and summer. Golden Shiner Minnows 200 Count Box

Spawning can be aided with the use of structures such as sunken evergreens or stacked pallets. The abundant reproduction of this fish makes it an excellent choice for stocking where predatory species are present.

Golden Shiner Minnows are significantly larger than fathead minnows (up to 11") and are preferred by large predator fish.
