Hellow everyone, i havent been online for a while now.
im just wondering if anyone has ever had barramundi in there fishtanks, and if so what size tank is necceassary and any other information.

I think barramundi cant stop growing if neccesary.

x2 would love to info on them!

From what I found on line:
Aquarium use
Smaller specimens are a popular aquarium fish and can be very entertaining especially at feeding time. However they grow quickly , so it is not recommended that they be kept in any set up of less than 5 feet ( 500 litres) In aquaria they become quite tame and can be hand fed, they are non aggressive species however the feeding reflex is violent and sudden so they can not be kept with any tank mates small enough to be swallowed.

so could be ok wi o's?? any in uk kept them??

as u can tell i av a HUGE wishlist for my new tank....but just doin reasearch atm.. any1 kept peacock bass? and seen 4 sale in the uk?? (again just research)

We had a thread some time ago, and it has some nice barramundi footage.
Barramundi is Monsterfishkeeping allright!

Matt go ahead and blame me... LOL, I can take it.

And it sounds to me like you deserve a present!

what size do baramundis max out at? bigger than peacock bass

This is what I found.

The Barramundi is a big fish. It can weigh 10 to 20 kg and more, and a length of over 1 metre isn't uncommon. Its maximum size is 1.8 metres and it will then weigh about 60 kg.
