This spring I will be vacationing for a week on a lake with no bait shop, so I need to find a way to keep minnows for that time frame. I am guessing about 200 minnows (fathead or similar). Expecting air temps to be 60-70f. I will have access to 110v at the destination and have an assortment of air pumps and water pumps from when I had aquariums. I was thinking to modify a cooler.
1) do I need to run an aerator during the 2 hour trip?
2) how many gallons for that qty minnows?
3) do the air pump/stone combo introduce enough new oxygen to be able to leave the cooler closed and locked?
