I rarely use minnows, but, when I bought this lake house, it had an old claw foot bath tub beside my screen room. I use it for minnows.
The funny thing is I never add water, just natural rainwater keeps it full.
I never feed them, i guess they eat mosquito larvae or bugs.
I have not added any fish in over two years, and the three to four dozen fish that are in it now, have grown to almost 4 inches long.
My grandkids love looking and playing with them.
