Just got a tank myself - petsmart  had em a buck gallon till JAN 24. couldn't resist the 40 gallon!  I will save in gas running around for bait what I spent on it in two weekends.

now yu just gotta figure out how to keep them cold enuf they dont go into shock and die when you put them in water thats
 freezing .......

My garage is un attached to the house and gets just above freezing. Perfect for my bait tank. Water is just about to freeze but my filter keeps it from.

glass tank freezing temps = no good !  just saying  just above freezing is good but if the tank is in your warm house and you go to freezing temps its gonna happen .

I keep just enough shiners in a 5 gal bucket with a cheap filter from Walmart, in my basement . Never have shiner shock issues. That being said, I buy shiners from Citgo in Alton circle, which is warm in side and then go directly to my fishing spot and do not experience shiner shock either??

Yup I agree with dave

most stores that sell bait also run chllers on there tanks which is why you dont experience shock in your bait .... trust me keep your bait in your nice warm living room /basement and use the water thats in your tank and i gaurantee your bait will go into shock when 1 your are on your way to the lake or 2 as soon as you place them in the water ! nor will they be as liely if they dont die !
