as you can see golden#2 has a spine problem, but it doesn't effect his swimming and i still love him as much as the other 2

Great!
 
That tiger trout is gorgeous! Never heard of tiger trout, are they some kind of hybrid or something?

Those gold trout should not be confused with the Golden Trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss aguabonita)
 
Thanks everyone!

The tigers are created by breeding a male brown trout with a female brook trout, but sadly tigers are indeed hybrids and are infertile.
 
Plans to get a chiller? Or do you have some other idea cooked up? I got an idea for a cheap chiller brewin in my brain. Let me know if your interested.
