Try minnowcoloring.com
I've also been told fine red brick dust will color them.

The only places we have found them here in Western Ohio are Petsmart and the local aquarium store. Both places sell them for $1.25/doz. They're sold for feeder fish and are labeled as rosy reds. These are NOT goldfish! Goldfish get as large as common carp and are deeper bodied. Rosies are just a color variant of fathead minnows and top out at about 3.5 inches. - Roberta
