some shots of some of my barras eating.theese barras are round 12". i am building a pond for them. but first an 8x3x2. they are in a 5' atm. here goes


Ever wondered why barramundi can fit such large prey in there mouth???





Theres your answer.
Next picture is the classic barra hit.open your mouth curve your body so as you hit food u move back to the bottom. this "stance" isused on trophies and tees for all fishing comps in the NT






Lastly a pic of my 2 barras note the golden sheen on scales and the black asian aro style markings running on top of barra. that is all thanks to hikari.

 
dude they arent agro when they eat. they just leisurely oipen there mouths uck all the wateer in and bang one feeder fish 1/2 its size in its mouth no chewing. if ur barra aint do that then it will never.
 
Awesome coloration!!!

sounds aggro to me, my barra is a fish market rescue..been in the Q tank for a week now..i have yet to see him eat..put a minnow in at night a few days ago..gone in the morning...
 
yeh basically at the size it is it should be eating something like 20 1"minnows in a night. then be stuffed fer a whole day.
