[QUOTE="Browneye, post: 293790, member: 1051"] An old timer told me an old freezer works good. He said you dont even need to feed them just do water changes once in awhile. I have a old thick walled freezer I meant to use for this purpose but It doesn't have a drain plug in the bottom like the newer ones have. Thought it would have been handy to open the bottom plug and drain some of the lower level ammoniated water off before u would add fresh water. Problem is minnows don't do heat very well. If this is done outside I think it would have to be on the north side of a building or under a tree to keep it in the shade all the time. Not sure but even then u maybe would have to add blocks of ice once in a while to keep water temp down. Last summer I tried to use a large old cooler with an aquarium bubbler in it. I would add a frozen milk carton of water to it once a day but once the temps got in the 80s water got too warm and I still lost them. I think a freezer might work better unless u try a $400 Yeti :) [/QUOTE]
