I would love to have a trout tank, if they weren't so hard to keep.

Agreed... I have always wanted a huge tank dedicated to rainbow trout!
Does anyone on here have a trout tank?
Never heard them called lightning trout before. Around me they're referred to as Palominos or Golden Rainbows because they are a genetic mutation of Rainbow Trout. I plan on setting up a high tech trout tank with powerheads, powerful filtration, a chiller, etc someday when I have the money to.
I remember few years ago a guy in my area had a setup where there were 3 trout ponds that connected to 6 10ft basements in his garage and during spawning the trout would go into the tank to spawn then later go back to the ponds. After he closed down the system he was giving away the 10'x4'x30" tanks for free
I've got a few rainbows that are going into a private pond in a tank. They're all in the 3-6 inch range and are pretty cool during feeding time but other than that they just swim in place.
He was working in the fields throughout Ontario doing stocking and studying of rainbows and their spawning habitats so for his own ponds he decided to replicate it. It was a very cool setup as the rainbows would only spawn in the tanks as that is where they were bred so they followed the natural breeding habits.
