[QUOTE="Allen, post: 261079, member: 389"] The bottom line for minnow survival is cold water. Cold water has a much greater ability to hold oxygen, or diffuse it in even when minnows are present. So if you want to keep minnows alive while camping, I suggest an insulated minnow bucket with a battery operated aerator. Or, quite honestly, you can keep minnows just fine (a few dozen) in a 20 some quart cooler so long as you add ice periodically to keep the water around 40 degrees. [/QUOTE]
