Hauling tanks: Most commercially manufactured hauling tanks are insulated. Urethane foam, plastic foam and<br />
corkboard are common insulating materials, but they can also be used with homemade tanks, glued to the outer<br />
surface. Tanks should be equipped with an overflow drain to maintain water level and allow agitators to function<br />
at the proper operating depth. Another feature is an air vent or scoop to permit air circulation in the space<br />
between the water surface and tank top.<br />

Tanks and Pools: Make sure that when selecting tanks or pools, the material is appropriate for the conditions<br />
it will be housed. In general poly tanks are better for indoor use and fiberglass will fare better in outdoor<br />
conditions. It is important to check manufacturer specifications before purchasing to ensure that the materials<br />
will fit your individual needs.<br />

Larval feed: Newly hatched larvae have shown the best growth on these two feeds. Brine shrimp nauplii are<br />
the most nutritious and are easily accessible, but require specific storing conditions and hatching apparatus.<br />
Otohime A is a successful alternative that does not have such stringent requirements.<br />
