A " rosey red " around here is a color phase of a fathead minnow. Not really red though more like a pale brilliant orange. They are extremely popular with the trout fishermen early in the season.

Don't know if that was the info you was worrying on or no. Talked to a minnow wholesaler out of Arkansas and he claimed it was almost like an albino. They do occur naturally in the wild. But the wholesalers keep sorting them from the natural color fatheads. If two rosey reds spawn together then they mostly if not all become rosies.

Some petshops sell them as feeder fish.
