Yea he does look to be a nice size....I like these but the thing that always discouraged me from getting any, was how hard I've heard it is to get them off live and how skittish I heard they were.
Where are the red tail barracudas?

I did have one a few years ago and wasnt really into trying to get it off of live at the time but I do remember it being annoyingly skiitish...It reminds me of my pain in the ass odoe.
My odoe was pretty out going until I put my brycon in with him lol, he was never the same after that and I ended up selling him at about a foot.
Brycon's can be tough on other fish..I was actually thinking about getting maybe one or two more odoe as I remember reading that they do better in a group.I'll hold out for a nice Ace though.
Yeah,which was why I said that I should have used the latin name.A few fish seem to have the barracuda name slapped on them.
Hows your brycon doing DB? I lost my big guy at 16" in a power outtage a while back.
Hmm this is very confusing but I think I'm understanding them now. Is it legal to own the bigger species in florida?

I'm sorry..... That's huge. Must have been a tough loss.
Both of them are doing fine.... Better then the Dorado anyways.... lol
Not sure mine's that big yet, prolly only a foot or so, but has to be at least 6" tall. Has really filled out.
Krichardson- I'd highly recommend more Odoe. I seem to have great luck with them, but have never kept less then 4. I keep reading all these horror stories regarding Odoe being mean and spook easy and I just don't see it in groups. I see the bigger the group the better. I have 9 together right now and have never even seen a tattered fin aside from the one a ray got. They get along great, and seem to compete amongst eachother for food, pushing them to eat a lot. Easily doubled in size and are about 4 times the girth they were when I got them at 3-4" a few months back.
It was you,DB,who I remember posting about your odoe group...I think I might be getting the urge for setting up a toothy characin display.
