Unless your "shark pond" is like 40000g then ide still say your kidding yourself. They are as active or even more active then a shark and will get like 8'. Not a very good idea.
BigGourami i think zoo ment at an Aquarium although i may be wrong.

I forot to ask....what species of cuda?
I've raised several from young (maybe two dozen), and have two adults currently. They do well in groups when small, but the fewer the better as adults. They will slowly convert to prepared foods. I've kept them with everything from triggers and look downs to large sharks. They do awesome with medium to large sized stingays as well. Give them a lighted area and some shadow areas to hide in. They tend to hang out in areas of 'stuff' in the tank - rockwork, branches.... any type of cover.
BIGgourami - Is there a difference between keeping them at home and at work? Husbandry is the same either way.

Alex - What size shark pond do you have? Is it up and cycled, or still in the cosntruction phase? I would love to hear your plans and ideas, as well as possible future stocking list.
As for the Barracuda, they are amazing fish, I use to catch them alot in Florida when I went down on holidays, they get big, but if you can properly house them, I would go for it. Just make sure you know what your getting into, and ensure you are willing to take the extra steps to give it a good ethical home.

Im guessing his shark pond is either way to small or he is talking out his ***.
Ille happily be wrong as maybe you will now be baited into proving it by showing us a pic which we would all love to see.
I still think your dreaming that you have a shark pond big enough for a full grown barracuda. Even a small species would need thousands of gallons.
