Off Topic **Native Fish**

Oxygenation shouldn't really be that big of a problem, anyone that keeps larger payara or dorado should be supplying a similar amount of oxygen to what most of these trout and salmon species would require I'd assume. The chiller would be the most expensive part but honestly...money isn't really an issue to quite a few members on here and if they wanted to go hardcore NA fish I'm sure you'd find things like these swimming in their tanks

Actually oxygen content of the water is going to be very different from where Payara and dorado live. The biggest reason being the water temp. Cold water holds much more oxygen that warm water. For the Trout your going to need Lots of water movement, cold water (big chiller) perfect water conditions and a very large tank. Of course if you have the cash nothing is impossible.

There are some gorgeous trout setups at the Tennessee Aquarium in Chattanooga, among other places. If I had the money and space I'd think seriously about keeping trout, but that won't be the case any time soon.

Yeah I would imagine there wont be as many new elaborate setups popping up this year. I work in a sector that is generally unaffected by economy swings but my company is even starting to feel the squeeze. Things are gonna be a little tight this year.

I find it unusual that with the popularity of the various Cichla species that native trout and salmon species are not more popular. You used to be able to argue size was a limiting factor but that argument goes out the window when comapared to Cichla. The only real roadblock to keeping many of the trout sp. is that the water needs to be kept quite cool.

Check these out:

Californian Golden Trout, Oncorhynchus mykiss aguabonita (These are actually quite small and would be very manageable in an aquarium)

You have a better chance of getting asian aros legalized than you do of keeping a golden trout legally.

Very nice photos though, any of them yours?

Not mine. I wish...

The more I read up on them the more I am convinced that I need some.

Salvelinus alpinus

Salvelinus fontinalis

Rainbow Trout, Oncorhynchus mykiss

I agree with the California Golden Trout. That is a perfect aquarium species. They would do very well in a six foot length aquarium. They are commonly stocked and live in creeks no wider than 24".

The water temp. is one obstacle then there are the local laws protecting these fish.

whoa, 4 year old krich post!
