Burbot (Lota lota maculosa)

[Lota]

Hi all, I am new here, and wanted to see if there are any members keeping Burbot?
I’m working with them, they are great fish. Here are some pics of a tank of my fingerlings as well as a couple shots of my broodstock.

Would love to know if anyone else is working with them.

Can you show us the whole tank? I’ve never even heard of this fish!

I wish I could keep natives up here, can you imagine my 450 with a burbot and maybe a couple sculpins on bottom a dolly varden in the middle and a grayling across the top

Welcome aboard

I think there was a member who kept them but can't remember that member.

Well, I have many tanks full of these guys, as I am raising them. Not much to look at, just a poly tank with a sump!

That would be an awesome tank! Where are you located that you are not allowed to keep natives?

Not much to look

I think they look cool. Reminds of Polypterus.
