i wanna keep some barracudas but there small and i need ed a growing tank so i was ganna grow out small fish in there and move them up on tank size when they got to big
I wouldn't put them in a 20 gallon. If you want them I would recommend putting them in the 77 gallon now. But then again, that is my opinion.
I'm just not clear on what fish is being referred to, sometimes hujetas and cachorros are sold as fw barracudas, as are black finned halfbeaks, pike topminnows, and african pike characins. Most of these reach 12-16" and grow pretty quickly, if you get them at 3" long expect to move them inside of six months, probably sooner. Because of their shape theyy need manuever room so I would movet hem when they hit 6-8"long. All except the phago (african pike characin) prefer to be in schools so you should get at least three, 5 would be better, all of these fish like a little salt in the water.
k thanks and the resone i dont put them in the 77 gal right away is that there so small my peacock bass will eat them
Barracuda spook easily and aren't that bright. They need a pretty big tank. I just watched my friend's barracuda skin its nose because somebody walked by the tank (55gal) and the fish took off and rammed its face into the glass.
I wouldn't put them in the 20gal if I were you.
