they are in a 55gal...no they don't they were in a tiny stream and aslong as they have good current(cause i got them from a stream) they kinda stay and swim in place...the lake form of trout have a more of a space need as they get bigger and move to ease breathing...current resolves this problem as the water is forced through the gills...i have 480gph and 2 airstones for now...they seem great and content...i will be adding a homeade chiller and a power head in the not to distant future...all that is cause brookies are on the cold end of the trout/char....a rainbow persay would not need the chiller as 70 id fine for them aslong as it is high in DO and clean...

i am adding ice, low to no light(except the ambiant light from the house), and the tank is placed by the unused fire place to help chill the water till the chiller is operational...right now i am hovering around 64f witch is alittle high for them...i want to get to about 55-60f...
 
i forgot...i need one of these:lol2::lock::woot::popcorn:.....like i have said in about every trout inqury thread if i had the space they would be there...i just had to think how to make space...
