First thing, its Rosie Red Minnows
Second, you could either: put the powder on the fish, them put them in the water or just dissolve the powder in it, so that every drink your snake takes gives him a little vitamin b

My garter only takes food when no one is in the room. Come to think of it, he only comes out when no one is in the room. I feed him guppies. Just don’t tell the person in aquatics at the pet store why you’re buying them. I had a person at Petco refuse to sell me guppies when I said they were feeders. She insisted I buy goldfish feeders and she would not sell me "fancy guppies to feed to some snake!". When your garter is big enough, red plattys are okay as feeders. So are flat-head minnows and the afore mentioned rosy red minnows.
