    Most important things about a Shad tank is : it should be round, and it should NOT have a spray bar.

    Round tanks are so the Shad don't congregate into a corner & beat themselves to death.
    A bubbler system is a good idea, but a "spray bar" is not, because the spray can create foam.

    Just some FYI tips from my experiences.

    Catfish don't mind if they are dead as long as they are fresh

    Whatever I do, I'll try to use one of those aerators that pipe in oxygen to the pump outlet which will be underwater.

    It certainly does make a nasty foamy mess. I believe there is an additive made to reduce the foam in a bait tank.

    There are some additives you can add. I usually do a water change in aquarium if I have any foam and it helps. I would think the same would apply to bait tank.
