Dry ice
Was wondering if anyone has ever dropped a small chunk of dry ice into a minnow cooler during the long days of heat in the summer to keep the water cool for the minnows.

Ok. It does put off CO2 but I was thinking of cooling water off, not for oxygen. I don't think it robs oxygen does it? It put off bubbles and the bubbles are CO2, right?

CO2 combined with H2O yields carbonic acid. Not good for minnows. Try standard ice. Freeze some solo cups solid, put them in a small ice chest or insulated lunch kit, and take them with you, if you feel the need to cool your minnows down.

Freeze a water bottle (drink it, reload with tap water, squeeze the bottle before tightening the lid so the ice can expand and not burst the bottle. Drop that in the bait tank. It will cool the fish, not release tap water into the tank, and is reusable.

frozen bottles work best IMO. I don’t use ice because of chlorination. I use in minnow cooler as well as livewell.
