I am very new to this forum stuff. I hope i got this right this time. Anyways, thank you for reading, can anyone help me??? I have bought a 8" brycon barracuda with minimal knowledge of the fish. The fish store i go to is very reputable and informative. now, i am aliitle confussed because i was told my brycon cuda was mild temepred and is not a live feeder, but will eat krill. NOW... this fish is more pissed off than 20 postal workers. This fish seems to be nastey as hell. The chemistry of my water is perfect. is this fish normally agressive to very aggressive or should i look into a possible issue with the environment? he eats small amounts of krill and live feeders now. If he is supposed to be so angry, this is some cool stuff i have going on in the tank. Please help me. FYI, i have a 95 gal. tank, 1 large florida gar (13"), a softball sized african clawed albino frog, and a 12" pleco. should i be concerned or let this fish hate everybody? thank you for you time. Don
 
u got a brycon. cool. you're quite dead. haha. they can be very agressive. I wouldnt let it near ur frog. the gar and pleco shouldnt be a prob. the gar though may try to eat it...or ur brycon may attack it and ending having it crash and breaking its back.
 
dont keep the brycon with any of those...it will beat and kill them.
gars can be very spooked out fish.
no frog either.
cant defend itself.
 
Can you post a pic to determine which "brycon" you have? The Dentex is considered aggressive although I've kept it and it's behaved.
