I built a 55 gallon tank that I keep in my garage. I put a commercial bubbler and a koi pond filter on it. I built it for 2-3 pounds of shiners but ended up with closer to 4 pounds. I kept them in cool weather for 4 months and because of Covid, I kept them much longer than planned. I started losing some as weather got hot and I wasn’t using them. Dumped a pound or so in late May. I didn’t feed them since I hadn’t planned on keeping them that long. Unless you use a cooler or chiller, I wouldn’t try to keep very many in warm weather. I plan on using a small cooler with home ice and recirculate tank water thru it from the tank as weather gets warmer.
