Thread: Water for minnows

I'm wondering if these home water filtration devices will give you water that's safe for minnows. I've used the tablets that remove the chlorine from tap water, but there are units out there that sposed to remove the chlorine, too. Am I crazy?

I've been told by Jigflinger that the filtration systems for RVs can be had that remove the chlorine, but haven't looked into it yet. I'm sure it'd work though.

That'd be handy because you could put them on a hose to get the water where I need it.

Wannabe...

mr. wills, iwhen i need water for minnows, i just fill up my container and le it sit overnight, then put the minnows in the next morning.........never had a problem. sometimes, I use my aquarium chlorine remover, adding a few drops, which also works well. by the way, whats a good starting point for fishing bee this time of year, what part of the lake, thanks!

Yeah, kinda what I was thinking, WB. Thanks.

DH- this week-end will be a good starting point for fishes in Bee. I may hit'em Saturday or Monday, myself. Time to drag out the minnow gear and get to work. Getting low on freezer fish. Come on over and join me.

I use aquarium Florine eliminated also. I just set up a 100 gal water trough a few days ago. I just filled with water and let it sit 24 hrs and chunked in some minnows and they doing fine.

Cray how many pounds of minnows can you keep alive in a 100 gallon trough? Do you have any type filtration system?

Do the same thing Duck n never had a problem. Thats what my mom used to do with my goldfish bowl as a kid

I will sell yall all the well water you can use.

I'm keeping minnows in two 55 gal. barrells. I use an RV filter that screws onto a garden hose. You can get them at wally world for less than $20. Been working fine for me.

Use that green stuff the bait shop uses
