Gator I don't know how they do it down in Mississippi but I have a Bait Shop at home in Springfield, MO that sells me minnows by the pound. I only do that when I am buying alot of them to fill my minnow tank. I seem to get a better deal by purchasing them by the pound instead of by the dozen.

Red tuffies have been around forever. Friend of mine has been growing them for over 20 years.

Gator another thing I do is I mix the sizes a little bit. If I know I won't be using alot of minnows really fast I sometimes purchase the size that I like then some smaller because if you feed them they will grow fast.

Tks for info, I started this last year to save minnows I had left ovwr. Those minnows grew to over 3" long in no time at all. I thought I might save a little $ if I bought them in a large quantity.

How is your tank set-up? My husband has tried in 100+ gallon Rubbermaid tub. "I call it a watering trough"! But anyways, the minnows always die within 24 hrs! We fill the tank and let it sit for at least 24 hrs before putting the fish in there, but it's not working!

A pound of #6 minners is about 14 doz. more than a gross. They grade minnows by the weight of 1000 minnows. A 1000 #6 minnow weighs 6 pounds. A pound should be 1000 divided by 6, which equals 166.66667 minnows, or 13.8888889 dozen minnows. Give or take 1 minnow.
I can buy 1000 or 6 pounds for 55.00. or 500, 3 pounds for 27.50. That's a bit over 9.00 a pound. You can get them in Paragould AR. for 6-7 a pound.
