    Default question about keeping minnows............


    when trying to keep leftover minnows for a couple weeks, in addition to aeration and water changes, do they need to be fed, and if so, what and how. thanks!

    Default I've got a little Peanut shaped decorative pond

    in my back yard I just chunk them in. It's MAYBE 3 foot by 2 foot and even though I lose a few, most stay alive

    I use a big aquarium, aerate, and keep them extremely cool. I have kept them alive for a couple of weeks...and like Dondon I have some die but most stay alive.

    I never do, but I normally don't keep them for more than a couple weeks. I'm sure you could ask the guy at you bait shop what he feeds them?

    Nah, keep 'em hongry and skinny. That way when you put 'em on a hook they'll scurry about trying to find a last meal.

    A lot like the old Wannabe... except with fewer bad words. And Karate chop action. But, yes, still purtier than you.

    Never feed them, they will keep the water dirty if you do.
