I've been scouring the island for freshwater fish to stock a native tank, and it's been rad. Plenty of baby smallies in the streams, as well as plecos, corydoas, cichlids, and guppies. Pbass can be legally caught in a couple streams, but snakeheads and arowanna are super rare (I know people who know of people who caught one..maybe haha).
I've been thinking about trying out baby barracuda because I keep seeing them in super low salinity tributaries. I finally netted one today, and gawked at the possibilities haha. I threw him back, but Im wondering if you think I could acclimate it to full fresh, or just use aquarium salt? I have done this now with drum, pipefish, and hogchokers, but I have also seen those done before I tried. I have never seen a fresh water barracuda.
Thoughts? MN possibly?
