Looking for the best buy on a minnow bucket aerator that is quiet, keeps minnows alive and holds up well on batteries.
Thanks,

We use a Frabil and buy the D batteries at Family Dollar. Get the Gold Long Lasting ones, you won't believe how long they last. I also use an aquarium bubbler so when I'm home I plug that in to save batteries. Get them at the fish tank department at Walmart, around $10 change water daily.
x2. I also add a cap full (teaspoon) of hydrogen peroxide to every gal of water. Keeps minnows alive much longer.Quote:

Hey Cane Pole, I never heard of the peroxide before. Thanks for the tip...Quote:

X3 on the peroxide tip.

I use on of the erator that you buy from walmart and can use with the battery I guess it is like the bilge pump one. I also use the minnow bucket that you let troll by the boat
