Can any one give me info on how big a barramundi tank should be? and if barramundi breed in tanks. Thanks.

li has 2 in a 600g which they fill quite fully lol
and youd need a pond the size of a house to breed them lol

 

[cogs]

you need saltwater to breed

 

[johnptc]

they get 6 feet........ so the tank should be huge

 

[Bogwoodbruce]

Yep 5-6' in the wild i imagine 2-3' depending on size can get bigger if provide bigger tank etc....

They can only breed in marine conditions.
