How mean are these things? are they viscious feeders? I have been watching videos and mostly i see the in tanks alone. Are the able to be with other tankmates? I know there are rules we must follow when mixing fish but i have a 10" blood parrot, 9" severum,a 6" delhezi bichir, a10" congo bichir, 3 2-3" yellow lab cichlids, A hand full of 3-9" doradid cats, a 5" spotted pictus and MOLLIES in my 180. I LFS has 3" payaras for $20 and i'd like one but i don't know much about them. Are the hard to get off live food? I feed alot of frozen krill and silversides. These may be stupid questions but i must ask because i cant seem to find good info online
EDIT: typo...payara (sabretooth barracuda)
 
it really depends, I have one with my caribe shoal but the caribes are far more aggressive when it comes to feeding time. maybe still need time to get out of the shell but it's very colorful for sure.
