Salmon raising

Phil and I where talking...

Say you want to tank raise a Salmon. What would you need to do and prepare for as it matured?

lol

I'd be game for putting one in my tank!

i am sure you could own one but there woudl be a few problems with keeping and trying to breed them. you could get any info you need on this subject by doing an internet search, i am sure something would turn up

better have a big tank, salmon can get huge

Maybe I can seal my house and fill it with water!

Yeah once the salmon gets nice and big you eat it Mmm. It would be like veal but fish. Haha.
You would need a big tank that's cool water might even need a chiller and fast water movment. It would depend on the salmon too what kind? The kind we have here in tahoe Kokanee Salmon only get to be a little over a foot 14" some only 9" before they go to spawn and die. They are one of the best tastig kind.

I think It could be done.

i am pretty sure a chiller woudl be manditory, i mean arent salmon a cold water species?

Yes. They need cool, clear water. All trout species do.
