[QUOTE="blountcountyboy, post: 3880512, member: 1883"] I have a well at our barn so I don't have to deal with choline but, I keep 10's of dozens (I don't know how many are in a pound) in a big divided galvanized sink that holds 20 gallons of water per side. I fill up one side for minnows and have 2 aerators going at all times on them and they do fine as long as the water is cold. As soon as the water starts to warm or you dump 55 degree well water on them they start dying off. I change the water out every day or so (3 days max) by opening the drain on the bottom and turning on the well so that the amount of water coming in is just slightly more than what's going out. I do this until they get acclimated to the warmer water and then I open the drain and run water until I flush all the poop out of the bottom of the tank. The poop makes ammonia and it eats up the oxygen in the water. As far as feeding them I just drop some gold fish food in every now and then. [/QUOTE]
