    Question Best/quiet/ aeroator for gallon minnow bucket??


    Looking for the best buy on a minnow bucket aerator that is quiet, keeps minnows alive and holds up well on batteries.
    Thanks,
    Bassky

    We use a Frabil and buy the D batteries at Family Dollar. Get the Gold Long Lasting ones, you won't believe how long they last. I also use an aquarium bubbler so when I'm home I plug that in to save batteries. Get them at the fish tank department at Walmart, around $10 change water daily.

    x2. I also add a cap full (teaspoon) of hydrogen peroxide to every gal of water. Keeps minnows alive much longer.

    I also use a frabill but I have seen a few posts where some have mounted a Mr. Bubbles inside a compartment on their boat and run the air lines to their minnow tanks. Those run off your 12 v. battery. The frabill is pretty quite but you still have to deal with replacing dead batteries from time to time. I get away with it though cause I rarely use minnows.
    Health nuts are going to feel stupid someday, lying in hospitals dying of nothing.

    Just bought the Frabil after owning a cheap black aerator. The Frabil is definitely more quite.

    X3 on the peroxide tip.

    I use on of the erator that you buy from walmart and can use with the battery I guess it is like the bilge pump one. I also use the minnow bucket that you let troll by the boat
