    I caught a few dozen and was wondering on how to keep them alive for a period of time. Any ideas?

    Keep cool and fresh water on them. Something for them to swim in or under helps.

    For some reason they don’t like much in the way of a bubbler. If you put a pump on them, take the stone off the end so that you just have big bubbles coming out of the hose instead of a ton of little bubbles. That seems to help. That plus Tom’s advice and they’ll live for quite a while.

    I’m not sure there is any way to keep them alive but I would be happy to take them off your hands
