We’ve just got back from a week away, and in our absence the trout were being fed by an automatic fish-feeder. They seem to be pretty happy with that arrangement as they now look huge – at least in comparison to when we left!
We weighed them to see and their weight is now over 35g – doubled in the last two weeks. Time to up the amount we feed them again.

I’m very interested in your experiences growing rainbow trout.
I live in Canada and in my province we are restricted to only a couple of species of fish for aquaculture (even private small scale systems). Rainbow trout are the only ones that are easily obtained as fingerlings. I hope to have a system in place next spring to house some. Not many people are growing rainbows, so I look forward to further posts.
