I have a small frabil minnow bucket. The last two times I bought shiners I turned on the air pump,(wal-mart 2 D-cell frabil as well), they seemed to be doing O.K. at first but later in the day or towards evening I turned the pump off. Both times the shiners died before morning. It was hot during the day. Did they die from heat or do you never turn off the pump? In the past I have just used a regular old styrofoam bucket,(no air pump), and kept them alive for a day or two no problem....seems like when I tried to upgrade, I can't keep 'em alive!!!
