warm water trout?

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Oncorhynchus nonexistus
 
That's like saying I need a saltwater bluegill, which is more likely to happen than a warm water trout
 
Kept Brook Trout and Brown trout in 72 degree water without any issues. The catch was that I needed lots of water movement and high oxygen levels. And they were farm raised as well.
Lost the first Brook trout after the filter died, lost the Brown to the second Brook, and lost the second Brook I had kept to a Green Sunfish that gained back its dominance in the tank.
With that said, I recommend a species only tank if you managed to pull it off.

At a younger age, I did keep them at 65 degrees, just to stay on the safer side until he grew used to the aquarium settings. This was also easier being in a 20-Gallon grow-out vs. a 55-Gallon.
 
just get a chiller then you'll have no problems. well unless chiller breaks ;)

It's too much for asking the trout to be able to tolerate the temperatures of high 70's and low 80's, even with lot of currents and high levels of oxygen for longer periods. They can tolerate warm temperatures for short periods but they are investing too much energy to stay alive before they fell apart.
 
Tho most coldwater and coolwater fishes do well in lower 70's.

I agree, just because a Camel can live in Maine dosent mean u should make them. Nonexistus.....rflol, that's my favorite species!
