I've found that the air temperature plays a really big role as to how long my minnows last. They seem to like to cold much better.
I have minnows in a small fish tank in the garage that have been around for 4 months now, with no aerator.--I put the tank on a small piece of carpet on a table to help with freezing, but my garage is warm--When I have mInnows left I put them in with the rest so my 2 year old can count them--Change the water twice a week with water that I have left out for the day in a 5 gallon bucket. (In the sun is better to get rid of the chlorine, and crap in tap water)--She feeds them crunched up animal, or ritz crackers --She always knows when some have gone with Daddy on a trip to see their family[/quoteNice! Other then the crackers is that the only food they get?

I use a 54qt cooler. Add a pinch of rock salt and keep the water just above freezing. I change the water once a week. Bait stayed all winter. I buy by the pound. cheaper. You do not need to feed them if the water is cold. No food no crap
Nice! Other then the crackers is that the only food they get?
