We tested a theory that we had heard anecdotally - put ice in an icechest, covered the ice with damp burlap cloth, and threw 10 cocahoes on the burlap for over 1 hour. All but 1 of them started swimming around when we put them back in the tank. They are definitely tough SOBs.


Talked to several guys that commercially supply bait shops, and when the storm minnows (not cocahoes) come out after a hurricane, they transport them in the back of their pickups on wet burlap. Those things are even tougher than cocahoes-I remember tearing the specs and reds up in Christmas Camp Lake after a storm passed on those things.

Would love to get my hands on some gold colored cocahoe minnows! Those would have to be great.

If gold fish are illegal to fish with in La it's a new development. I know bait shops sold them not too long ago.

After reading thread ETA:

No fish of any species from outside the state shall be liberated within the state except upon written permission of the Secretary.



It's also illegal to release shiners in the water from what I understand.
