Awesome!!!! Can't see the pics 'cause I'm at work, but I'm sure they're great. Keep us posted. Are you using a chiller?

bottom pic looks like he has a torn lip. Did ya catch em?
Anyway, this is awesome! Can't wait to see how it turns out. I used to have some in my pond, grew them out to over 18" before the river otters ate them... would love to see what they do in a tank. What size is the tank they're in?

Pretty cool. Good Luck with them

Dont they need a current and really clean and oxygenated water?

I am not using a chiller at the moment. I might get one once it gets to a warmer season. My 75 Gallon tank is in an outside room where it stays outside temprature. Average temp is around the 50's (Texas weather for ya) but today its 25 F! Water is crystal clear using a power filter and a canister. There is little current from the power filter but thats it. They have been in the tank for a week and look healthly. I caught these trouts at a no-size limit stocked pond where the bag limit is 5 and you must keep all the ones you catch. The ones I have in the tank are about 6 and 7 inches.
