I'm curious if anyone has tried this, if I take a regular fish aquarium (say 10 gallonsish) and use fresh water and a regular aquarium pump ariator can i keep minnows alive for any length of time? If so what do I feed them? Can they reproduce?

You can but it would be very few. Pump and filter system would be needed. You could feed them gold fish flakes. Not much though. Don't know how long it would take but kept long enough they might reproduce. Your not going to grow your own bait in a 10 gal.
I've seen several aquariums with pump and filter for very cheap, how long could I keep about 100 alive in 10 gallons?
You'll have to be your own tester for keeping 100 in 10 gallons. A 50/50 water change every 4 or 5 days with filtered water. In removing the 50% get all of the settlement from the bottom.
I guess when I get some room cleared out in the garage I'll try to pick one up and try it out
A thermometer will help if the aquarium kit doesn't have one.
Is lime (hard water) a problem ?
I use this on the end of the hose.
