Sparctic Char

[xraycer]

I got it from a guy who gets trout from a fishery and sells them for next to nothing

These are natives in the UK? I've never heard of spartic char only artic chars. Are they similar?

They're a mix of arctic char and brook trout (same genus and actually a char) they look just like an arctic char but just grows smaller

Looking good as always and seem to be growing fast! How far along is the pond?

That's an amazing fish, good job keeping such a sensitive species! What're your water parameters for those guys? I'd love to keep Arctic or Lake Char sometime, unfortunately that's not in the cards at the moment, but I'm looking forward to seeing more photos from you!
