Minnows, like most fish, are capable of eating many different things.  What 
they eat will largely depend on where they are living and what is 
available. In the wild, minnows eat many different types of microrganisms, 
insects, and algae.  For minnows kept in aquariums, there are a variety of 
different prepared foods for small fish that can be found in pet stores.  I 
hope this helps!
