I have a 5-6” redtail barracuda that’s by itself in a 135 gallon with a bunch of bottom dwellers. I came across a yellowtail barracuda that’s only 3-4” and was debating if I should add it to the tank. I would love to have another cuda but don’t want to end up with an expensive dinner. What are your thoughts? Wait till I find another one that’s the same size? Thanks

I’ve thought about putting the group of 17 giant danios back in. Would that be too much activity for the redtail?

Ok thanks. I’ve been eyeing that yellowtail for 2 weeks now. I’ll wait to see what kno4te says.

It should be fine to add. They’re mouths are too big at those sizes.

Well guess I’m out of luck. The bigger one is gone and only 2 small and skinny ones left so I came home empty handed.
