Is my LFS right about Red and Yellow Tail Barracudas being difficult to keep?

Scombs get to around 1' but people also struggle keeping them. They're not really territorial, with them you just have to make sure they can't eat anyone. They are easily bullied so mixing them with something like cichlids is recommended.

Good to know, thank you!

That's a rather dull one. I used to have one in my 70 and it was magnificent, sold it to a friend and it looks amazing.

A group of 4 would be good

Yea, he was new when I snapped this pic. I am seriously thinking about getting a small school of these guys. Do you have a pic of him?

Not at hand no. Was about 5" but too zippy and bumped into the ends of the tank
