How To Keep Minnows Alive At Home - 3 Simple Steps

[@adamr8628]

Good tips. I like to buy an aquarium bubbler for about the same price as the adapter you showed. It's way more powerful and way more durable because it's made for 24/7 use for literally years. Yes, the bait cooler ones are OK. They're fine for portable use on the boat. But anywhere near an electric outlet, I would definitely save the wear on the little portable and use the aquarium pump.

I agree. These portable pumps don’t hold up super well.

An aquarium filter is huge. Removes the ammonia and urine waste. Actually adds oxygen as the water flows back in too. If you could only afford one, would get a filter, since it does both. Most people make the mistake of buying a bubbler first.

That’s a good call. We just got rid of our fish so I may do that technique next winter!

Great video even with the round insulated bait buckets and leaving them inside specially here in Florida they tend to die pretty quick. should we design a baitwell out of a cooler like I've seen, and because of the chlorine you can't really add ice can you

[@captain_zach_fishing]

I would find the coldest place to store them, but make sure any water temperature changes are slow otherwise you will shock the minnows. I would be more concerned about the temp change of adding ice than the chlorine. Thanks for stopping by! 🎣🎣🎣
