Those trouts are bueatiful and very healthy.....you got some some rare aquarium fish indeed.
Can I ask you some questions:
What trout is that?
whats' the water temp?
do you need some sort of wave maker?
What were you feeding them?
How big are the ones you have?
Are they active fishes in tanks?
Are they shy in tanks?
Sorry but I'm very interested in these fish

theyre rainbow trout. the temp is between 58-62 theyre in an unheated tank in my garage so it fluctuates. a powerhead isnt required but they do enjoy the current. they were extremely easy to get on pellets. a day or two after acclimation and they were eating like champs. theyre also eating crawlers, frozen shrimp, cut fillets, and mealworms, pretty much anything meaty. they will take down feeders as well. i currently have a 7" and 11" trout. theyre extremely active and far from shy. one word of caution though they can be very territorial fish, it depends from fish to fish.
How could your unheated tank be 58-62 degrees when you live in SoCal???
When they outgrow you tank, what would you do with them....hint hint
Also is there a way I can get some, any links or tips. Of course I prefer juvies so I can keep them longer.

its not always as bright and sunny as everyone thinks over here. night time temps dip to fourty which keeps the water nice and cool. theyll be out of my tanks by spring, when the temps get to warm and ill toss them in a private lake. im not sure what your state regulations are, hopefully theyre not as strict as calis, but check with your local trout hatchery and see if theyll sell you some. otherwise your pretty much stuck with fishing for them. small barbless single hooks or single hooked lures are the best way to go. minimize handling and transport them with alot of water.
