Facts:
Because they are such slow swimmers, fathead minnows are a excellent choice to stock in a new pond as forage for fingerling bass and sunfish. They are also sometimes used to give underweight bass a instant and easy forage base.

Spawning Characteristics:
Golden shiners begin spawning when the water temperatures reach 70 °F and continue until the water temperature reaches 80 °F. As with shad, the golden shiner's eggs are deposited over submerged vegetation and are left to hatch on their own.
