Trout on trout violence?
Maybe this is a product of having just a few fish in small tanks, but I wondered if trout sometimes attack similar size or slightly smaller fish that would be too large for them to eat. We harvested a couple of the largest fish from one tank and a couple days later two other fairly large fish…
