November 24, 200619 yr comment_132330 You'd prolly need a chiller to keep the temperature low enough as well. Alan 104 Report
November 24, 200619 yr comment_132331 I had some for a couple of years in a goldfish pond and they grew from about 20mm to 70mm. They were not happy chappies. They like cold clean heavily oxygenated water and I don't think you would be doing them any favours by keeping them without that. ps Mine have probably been caught and eaten from the Waimakariri from whence they came Report
November 24, 200619 yr comment_132335 Trout must be keeped in a large tank at a temp of 8C to 15C (so a chiller or air-con room is a must), a neutral pH is best but 6.7 to 8.2 is OK. They like a strong current and very highly oxygenated water 5.0 ppm+ (bring a river fish) so put a few powerhead's ect... in the tank. (and use a BIG filter, sump ect...) and air pumps. They are also very territorial so lot's of rock's and hiding place's are a good idea. Report
