Raising minnows and shiners for bait?

[jdigrande91]

Yea I was thinking more of just having the leftovers or having a spot to keep them in before using for fishing trips so I am already prepared. I'm definitely aware that 37 gallons is not very big and I know that over crowding will occur if I keep large amounts over a long period of time. I was thinking if it would be cost effective in the sense that I could keep them in the tank for a week or so (no longer than 2) and eventually introduce a new batch when I use them all. Filtration I was thinking of a Aqua-clear HOB filter and a powerhead with very minimal media because of the length of me keeping them. I knew breeding and producing large quantities of them would not be worth it and be costly. But overall what do you think if I were not to keep them for extended periods of time?
