The fish from Petco would drop so fast I had to skim dead ones daily, these Dace minnows are hardy fish! very robust, and they flop around a lot, so they get the attention of the snakes quickly.
The local wild Garters and Nerodia eat this species of minnow frequently......I'd wager to say they are the primary diet of the wild nerodia.
