Hey just got 2 red tail barracudas. Just had a question on the species cuz mine has yellow on the tail and not red so was just wondering if this was the same thing or wat. It has a black spot near the tail but not behind the gills like ive seen before.

IME they grow very slowly. Is there anything i can do to get them to grow more quickly like blackwater extract?

I doubt the extract will help growth but wouldn't hurt if you can maintain consistency. Good nutrition will so vary the diet a bit, gut loaded live crickets are usually happily taken. They get a bit bigger than the falcatus, around 16"
