Trout are a small and unusual category in the Malaysian aquarium hobby. True trout, like the rainbow trout, are cold-water fish from temperate rivers, and they are much more often seen as food than in a home tank. In shops, though, "trout" is also used loosely for some tropical fish with a similar streamlined shape, so the name on a listing doesn't always mean the same thing.
This page helps you work out what you're actually looking at before you buy. FishyHub lists whatever trout and trout-type fish Malaysian sellers have available, with prices in RM, and stock in this category comes and goes.
Salmonids such as rainbow trout need cool, very well-oxygenated water, generally well below Malaysian room temperature. Keeping them in a home tank in Malaysia means running a chiller full time, plus a large tank and strong filtration. That is a specialist project, not a casual purchase.
Some tropical predatory or active fish carry "trout" in their trade name. These are completely different animals, with different sizes, diets and temperaments. Always check the scientific name on the listing and look up the adult size before buying.
| Question | Why it matters in Malaysia |
|---|---|
| What is the scientific name? | Trade names vary, and care needs differ hugely between species. |
| What temperature does it need? | Malaysian homes sit at about 26–31°C. Cold-water fish need a chiller. |
| How big does it grow? | Streamlined river fish can need a 4–6 kaki tank (about 230–650 L) as adults. |
| Is it a predator? | Many trout-shaped fish eat smaller tankmates. |
| Is it allowed? | Buy only from sellers who comply with Department of Fisheries (DOF) Malaysia rules. |
And whatever you keep, jangan lepaskan ikan ke sungai. Releasing aquarium fish into rivers, lakes or drains harms native species, and states are tightening their own rules on releasing foreign fish.
Because this is a niche category, ask the seller questions before you order. Check each listing for the exact species, current size, whether the photo shows the actual fish, the seller's location, delivery or self-collect options and their live-arrival policy. Buyers in Sabah and Sarawak should confirm with the seller first, as live fish delivery to East Malaysia takes longer.

No. Some tropical fish use "trout" in their trade name. Check the scientific name to know what you're buying.
Most trout and trout-type fish are active predators that will eat small fish. Plan a species tank or keep them with similar-sized, robust fish.
