Man I am going to have to buy one of those some day. They are just soooo cool looking.

Yellow tailed barracuda are the best.....get them now!!!!....there the biggest spieces of FW cuda (they will get about 12 inchs in aquariums) and the best looking....and thier alot harder to find than the red tailed ones...VERY skitttish tho...so be carful u dont scare the **** out of them too much....and a 120 is big enough for a few of them...there wild eaters and they eat the feeders whole and swallow them head first.....ive only seen them rip fish apart when they were fighting over it with another fish....they wont dissapoint you.....heres a few pics of mine....there about 8 inchs and the last pic is after a nice feeding :headbang2

Ive only seen the red tailed ones before (never bought one though as I was attempting to get away from visiting the LFS each week for feeders), but I have a feeder tank now (mostly to keep me RCK in a hunting mindset). when the guy told me he picked up acouple freshwater barracudas, I was hoping he had acouple ATFs an I was gonna have a kick ass fish at a cheap price. But either way Im ending up with a kick ass fish. lol
 
Well I went up to the LFS today to get it, an sadly both were dead. So I guess im going to have to wait an see if he gets anymore in. :(
