I have a 56 Gallon Aquarium that I plan on keeping minnows in. How many pounds could I hold at a time? I plan on buying 4 pounds of minnows at a time. I would buy during week and use on weekend. They would only be in there 1-2 weeks max.

four pound would be around 32 dozen. Minnows are dirty, do you have a good filter system set up?
I keep 2 pounds of medium minnows in about 20 gallons of water. They’ve kept for 2 months. Got a cheap little filter (pump) and 2 small aerators....I change the water every 2 weeks due to fish food, etc.

I'd like to set up a bucket to keep them. How would you keep the water cool enough in the summer?

I have thought of setting up 4-5 of them and keeping some of them river prawns in the bottom. That thought was quickly set aside by my better half lol
I had a 30 gallon. That I would put the remaining minnows from my adventures. Then one day I got ready collect my bounty. They were uncatchable.
