Backyard Aquaponics
A place to discuss aquaponics

I'm very surprised to hear that. The Brook Trout, both wild and from the hatcheries, are much less tolerant regarding DO and temperature than Rainbow Trout around here. I tried my hand at Rainbows and couldn't make a go of it because of water temperature. The Rainbows also tend to a more aggressive and inquisitive temperament than the Brook Trout. Of course, different continent and different fish stocks so I'm not sure it's a fair comparison. I have a beautiful brook that runs behind my house and it has a lot of Brook Trout, both native and stocked.

So...bundy, after running an entire season with booth brook and rainbow, care to give a summary of your experiences? Figures like tanks size and stocking density might also help to determine any bias
