Birds and inverts are the two main vectors for parasites. Mammals tend just to kill the fish themselves.

<p>We grow a bunch of trout here. While one poster is correct colder water does allow for more oxygen to dissolve in the water, it is the percent saturation that water is for keeping growth and stress low. 60% saturation seems to be the magic number for low stress and fastest growth. </p>

<p>Also true that in most cases warmer water does lend to faster growth, but only to a point. Trout grow fastest at 65 degrees. Any warmer or cooler the fish has more maintenance cost, and…</p>

Logically they prefer lower temperatures, and therefore stress should be lower. When you lower the amount of stress on an animal then you also lower the chances of pathogen or parasite to <u>causing</u> a negative impact. Realistically all of the fish you have in any tank have either a parasite or pathogen such as <em>Trichodina</em> and <em>Aeromonas hydrophila,</em> or likely both<em>. </em></p>

<p>As for something we might try here are the golden trout. These fish seem to be rather bullet proof. When everything else is going wrong, these guys just keep on eating.</p> Jeff never thought of brookie…tag:aquaponicgardening.ning.com,2011-08-29:4778851:Comment:2001192011-08-29T22:52:15.262ZDavid Waitehttps://aquaponicgardening.ning.com/profile/DavidWaite
Jeff never thought of brookies. Great concept, keep us posted on the breeding. You really need a few pics of your set up so we can give you some grief hehe.<br></br>

<p>Man this is encouraging. I have been curious about this because brown trout are more resistant to high water temps. I love trout and will give them a try based on this . Ye ha.</p>
