Hello,

MY dad just bought a 50 acre lake recently adn I want to get some minnows to raise for myself to use as baits. I have a big water trough I am going to put these in. They are going to e outide but I can not feed them because I will not live with them . They will be next to the lake. I would liek to know if they will eat the algae of the bottom of the trough or do I need to feed them? Also I need to get an aerator( I think) so do you know of some good ones( maybe solar power if made)? And other supplies I will need to raise these minnows?

Thanks RObert
