they'll readily eat small fish that fit in their mouths easy, but other than that they are docile and harmless. check what specie you were going to get, as it could get alot bigger than even a 240g could hold in the long run

no barracuda specie is mean towards fish it cannot eat. It eats, or it doesn't eat. They have a high tendency to get bullied and harassed by aggressive tankmates. They do not use their jaws and teeth in self-defense, as you might think.

if your lfs carries them, prolly in the $20-$40 range apiece. The freshwater species like to school. If your lfs doesn't carry them, you'll have to order them online from someone who sells them, and then you'd have to pay $30-$90 shipping depending on how far you live off from the seller. You can check the buy/sell forums to see if anyone is carrying them.
