[QUOTE="MSA, post: 30376, member: 193"] A filter will make all the difference. Get a big hang on style power filter from walmart for 40 bucks. the constant water flow thru the filter will promote bacteria growth that breaks down the ammonia. If its a newly set up tank you have to keep a minimum amount of fish in it until bacteria get established to keep ammonia levels at zero. You have to remember that one average chub has the oxygen requirements and produces the same waste as 10 to 15 minnows. dont use ice or mess with the temps if the water in the tank feels similar to the bucket, dump em in. Also do not feed them, youll use them for bait long before they die of starvation. So get filter, start with less chubs, maybe 1-3 per gallon for the first few weeks, dont change or cool water temps.

That would be a better option than inside a hot garage or shed [/QUOTE]
