NR, That is what I'm looking at doing with the IBCs. Aquaphonics with some sort of cold fish.
So if you do not want expensive to buy and run oxygenating kit and high quality water filters forget about Trout, Salmon, Char etc and stick with Cyprinids ( Carp, Goldfish, Mirror, Common and Koi) they don't require the very high levels of oxygen and pure water quality the Salmondae need. Carp actually like cloudy, greenish water with lots of vegetation, they prefer slower water movement as well so your not running pumps to give a fast flow that is needed for trout etc. You can keep carp in sterile pond type breeding tanks and feed em on pellets ( NOT TROUT PELLETS they damage carps guts and kill em early) or you can keep them even happier in ornamental ponds with varying depths, plenty of plants ( and insect life) and a slower but still required bio filter ( or go the read bed route if you have space)
