Hi everyone! I went into chinatown over the weekend and rescued this barramundi from the dinner plate. Its always an adventure breaking the language barrier in order to prevent the fish from getting cut up. The guy working at the fish market eventually got the idea and was even nice enough to provide a bag with some water. All the fish were in pretty bad shape, but I'm confident this guy will make a full recovery. I really wanted a bowfin but they were about two feet long and I didn't want to have to deal with a fish that size on the 3 hour drive home. The Barra is about 14" at the moment and is living alone in my 120 gallon tank...yes, its only temporary. I am well aware that they can grow upwards of five feet.
