| Post subject: | Rainbows AND Redclaws? |
Didn't want to hijack Tim B's rainwater thread, but something caught my eye... Tim said, "i in the mean time have been belting the food into the crays and the rainbows " I am curious as to the temp you keep your water. Rainbows, as far as i know, need 50 - 60 F temps while redclaw would be considered to be at the lower edge of thier range at 55F and lethal below that according to literature i have seen. I live in New England USA and have a few Walkamin strain redclaw. I was told 65F is the lowest i should try and they basically stop eating below that. So either you're growing trout outside their preferred range or your growing redclaws outside of their range. I would love to drop the temps of the redclaws (I keep them at 71 - 74F) so i'd like to hear more your success with your animals! Thanks! Rob Lak |

I think Tim may be talking about Rainbow Fish - not Rainbow Trout. See this linkhere - they are a tropical fish. |

Thanks. That makes more sense. Don't know how "trout" got in my head. |
