red tail barracuda

[milkshake man]

could i put one of these in a 75g hex tank

or should i get a smaller one like a. altus or a.isalinae

1 is ok, but 75 long is a better shape for providing current. Need a tight lid.

If you can find a true isalinae then a nice school of those would be good in a 75g hex.

But imo all of the others would not be good choices for that tank.

Now the problem you will have is that there is hardly anyone that can give 100% positive id's on most of the cuda species. So finding some true isalinae's will be next to impossible.

A pretty cool alternative to a cuda would be some exodon's. A school of these are pretty nasty at feeding time. And they stay small and are very common at alot of lfs's.

I found some isalinaes on petsolutions.com for about $30 a piece i want to get a small school of them how many shoul i get

isalinaes kinda look like young of some species that have stripes when young.
so be careful.
as far as i know,most end up as red or yellow tails.

Does anyone think a sabre tooth cuda and red tail cuda are compatible?

Does anyone think a sabre tooth cuda and red tail cuda are compatible?

although those 2 names represent many different fish. 99% of the time yes.

As long as the red cuda is a little bigger than the saber tooth.

The guys at my local fish shop said the red tail needs to be smaller or else he will kill my saber tooth.
