[QUOTE="Lycanthrope, post: 261089, member: 562"] Key to keeping minnows without electricity is keeping water cool and maximize surface area, 5 gallon bucket has low surface area compared to its volume, thats why you need a bubbler, BUT if you put the minnows in a buss tote or something like that, you will increase the surface area significantly and likely wont need a bubbler. Dont put too much water in it, an inch or so is plenty cuz if the minnows disturb the surface, it will increase o2 absorption also. If its warm out, dig a hole and put the tote in the hole so the top is slightly above the surface of the ground. Cool soil temperature will also help minnows live longer. [/QUOTE]
