Starting a predatory fish tank

[bradcine]

It’ll work. Would stick red tail payaras instead of scomberoides or armatus due to tank size.

Do they only eat feeders?

I believe they also eat shrimp

No. In the begging it will and you’ll have to break them off of live foods.

Should I include a smaller species for a small school?

Like a group of red tails u mean? If so then yes. Group mentality will work over with difficult fish.

Oh I have a lot to learn .-.

Then don’t offer advise like keeping an alligator gar in a 300g. Don’t recommend anything until you know. I know you signed up like 5mins ago but please don’t go and start spamming crap information to people, it’s kinda like a thing here....

Rather than providing the common name, use the scientific name of what you are talking about.

If I’m using a 250 or 300 gallon tank, what dimension is best?

The bigger the better, not u viktor, if ur plan is to keep large predatory fish. Keep in mind a 300g won’t be sufficient for all predatory fish.

Its not all about the gallons. Its mostly about the footprint IMHO. Lets say for an exaple 100x100x54cm is better then 150x60x60cm but still the same amount of water.

Very true. Can’t forget this.
