Canned Trout

[fisher12889]

they dont need current however they do need to be constantly moving to move water over their gills, so its current or huge tank, ur choice.

also i think browns or brooks (or it could be another species...lol) prefere water in the high 60's like 65-72....so they are prolly ur best bet without a chiller.

QUICK CHILLER:
10-30 gallon tank in freezer with 1 1/2" pipe going in and out...........i used to have a 10 gal supplying to a 55 and it kept it about 58 degrees.....pretty good if ya ask me.

Rainbow trout maybe? They are in some lakes that have warmwater fish, where surface temps sometimes get to 80 degrees farenheit, maybe more. Brook trout are pretty much only found in high mountain streams and lakes.

Up in Mammoth Lakes CA. Theirs a tackle store that has one. Its in a 300g long with a chiller home made. Its just a Norm Rainbow Trout But its avg 5lbs allrdy (Its BIGG). Theirs Nothing in the tank beside him and the Chiller add a light current to the top of the water. But The coloring isnt as nice in a tank as in the wild. If u have to keep a Trout get a Golden or a brown they can have the most color in captive. hatchers Around here Will give u Some trout, If u can prove a Pond.

Can be. around where i live they stock the parks with trout ones a year. An these are small park pond with warm water. Its more on the Hatchry they have Warmer water trout. Which they use to stock the lower Serria with.

To be honest with you, most of the trout that I have seen in aquariums were rather boring. Plus they can be quite aggressive with each other. The only trout tank I saw that was cool was at the Monterey Bay aquarium and it's outside with a waterfall that forces the current to go from the front glass towards the back of the tank. It's set up to look like a cross section from a stream and it's pretty cool to watch the trout fight with each other for the best spot in the tank.

I think if you could create a tank that was long and narrow to mimic a stream and set it up with a very strong current from one end to the other, that would be sweet! But I think for my tastes, it would have to be 20' - 24' long and at least 4' wide with preferably about 3' - 4' of depth. Set it up with lots of boulders to make 3 or 4 seperate pools so that it looks like an actual creek, and then it would be cool.

Ya that one i saw wasnt ative. But I still think it be cool Cuz the frist time i fished for trout i found how beautiful some can be. An how ugly other are if u made some thing with a strong.

That's not true, trout can stop moving and still breath.
