What is the lowest temp you can keep baramundis at? Like can they live at native fish temps?

Not sure but I know those tanks in the Asian markets that carry them are unheated,but then,they are not meant to be there for very long.

Optimum temperature for a barra is around 28 degrees C, they will usually stop feeding/growing at around 20 degrees c. They are happy from about 23 all the way up to 30 degrees though, not a fussy fish they just dont like the cold. Its hot where they are from!

Barramundi?..Well they seem to be in the beginning in that they only go after food that resembles a small fish.
