[dean30bb]

hey guys today i was checking out all the local fish stores for some bargains and came across this huge 16 inch barra they do get alot bigger but. he was only in a small tank 2ft cube tank and it had 110 bucks writen on the glass so i tryed to bargain the owner down but only got him to do 100 bucks so i got him lol:19:

which means more tanks lol. im getting a new tank soon for all my oscars to go into dads making it for me so its a freebie yay lol
so for now i have him in my 3 ft x 2ft for about 2-3 weeks befor he gets his new home with his other tank mates


P.S ill get some pics as soon as he settles in

What size tank are you going for?

[dean30bb]

he will be in my 5 ft x 2 ft x 2ft with 2 sleepy cods

[goleafs]

I have no idea how big they get in captivity but don't they grow over 3 feet in the wild?

[dean30bb]

yeah they can but its very rare more like 2ft but in captivity they will not grow much larger then about 20 inches or more but depends on the size of the tank

[dean30bb]

here are some pics of the bara to give you all an idea of how big he is the sleepy cods at the bottom of one of the pics are 35cm and 40 cm long

[Northernguy]

That is a really cool looking fish!
Are you not worried about it hurting your cods?
What does it eat?

[dean30bb]

no shes good with the cods suprisingly shes very timid even the guy at the store sed she has always been timid lol

i feed her hi protin pellets from the store (they make all there own foods) and every now and again a gold fish or 2

Nice fish! I would try making the future tank a little bigger...just in case he does get over 2'.

[dean30bb]

i could make it 8ft x2ft or do you think 6ftx3ft

[Demjor19]

i could make it 8ft x2ft or do you think 6ftx3ft

6x3x2 would be very nice! I would focus more on the width than the length. That way you would have some extra room...just in case he gets bigger than expected.

[dean30bb]

oh yeah awsome, ill get it 3ft wide then sounds good thanks

[Harls]

Sweet, i want one!!

[dean30bb]

yeah there awsome she has great personality

[HomaridNoob6]
