Does anyone know anything about the Red Tail Barracuda looks like a cool fish but i dont know anything about them.

And sorry if this is in the wrong place I am new to the site.

What are you looking to find out?

General info:
Usual max size is about 11 inches.
Hard to break off of live food if at all.
Prefer some coverage.
Can be twitchy.
Prefer 76-82 degree water.

I had one arrive from an online vendor just yesterday. Acclimated well and ate some feeders a few hours after.

Thank you for the help how do you think one would do in a 55g

As juvi fine so long as thiers not a bunch of fish or much larger fish in the 55. Probably within a year you'll want an 18-24' wide tank 5-6' in length. 8" is a more realistic adult size for aquaria.

Order it from John (Snookn21). Here is a link to his vendor forum here on MFK.
