Are minnows livebearers

No, minnows are not livebearers. They are typically egg-layers, meaning they reproduce by laying eggs that are fertilized externally. Most minnow species, such as those in the family Cyprinidae, scatter their eggs in the water, where they develop independently. Livebearers, on the other hand, give birth to live young, as seen in species like guppies and mollies.
