I am taking a trip to the cheasapeke soon,and I am going fishing.I read about the fish species.What interested me was it had cutlass fish.Of course there is no information on their care.And I read they are shallow and deepwater species.So how would you care for one of these?
 
Really depends on the SP. of cutlass as some of these grow to about 5 - 6 feet....Feed juveniles on plantonik and meaty foods...Feed an adult on meat, preferably live fish. No really an aquarium species in my opinion due to the depths these inhabitat. Most of there time is spent at depths of around 100m, and only really come to the suface to feed...
