anything to do with a barramundi please write here!
i have 2 tiny ones brought from a store. any info/pics please post here
 
huge awsome predator. the aussie version of lmb only like ~2x the size i guess
 
mate i have 2 barramundi myself averaging about 45cm each, they r an awsome fish, they smash anything in the water, but they need a very big tank, they also grow very very fast, both mine grew over 35cm in 1 year.when they get bigger just feed them pilchards and garfish, when you go fishing or if you dont go fishing just go to the bait store,its way cheaper than going and buying live food, get them on pellets strait away.

and here are some pics of them, im trying to sell them soon and thats y tehre tank is so small, they just grow and grow and grow. and as you can see the pics were taken a while ago, and i have some vidoes of them at feeding time http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vBYjl1R3VzA

wow. yeah i traded my jack dempesy that was 4 cm long for 2 barras at our pet store lol. he even threw in barra pellets smal and big ones in 2 tubs. what a silly person. i thaught id make my tank look natrual and get some logs and i scrubbed them with a wire bruch wased them and repeated for 4 times at least then soaked them for 2 days. put them in and they making water brown lol. it doesnt harm the fish tho i read up so i do 50 percent water changes every 5 days. sucks but it will look kewl in a week with all my plants on it. i got an offer of 40 dollars for the drift wood with plants. soo funny.
