Caranx Ignobilis (Giant Trevally)

kendragon · Dec 26, 2020

I like to start off the new year with my new thread on Caranx. I got this group from Wes (Fugupuff) three months ago @2". There are a few Caranx Sexfasciatus (Bigeye). This will be my third time raising Caranx with improvements made each time.
I will add to this thread as I go.

New @ 2"

Today @ 6"

Trevallies are very active fish requiring a high protein diet. They're constantly swimming and eat like pigs. Good filtration is a must. Poop is very fine and not chunky.

Mechanical filter is dark brown after a few days.

Aren't those the fish that will jump out of the water and snag gulls in mid air?

Not the worst idea.

if people thought so in the earlier years, I doubt anyone would be even setting up anything larger than a 10 gallon.

We are monsterfishkeepers, we keep monsters and in the best way.
