ventralis Posted January 21, 2007 Author Share Posted January 21, 2007 Thanks for the info but Campsie only had the Australian Barracuda only stay in fresh water while they are young as they breed in fresh water these will be no good to me. Acestrorhynchus are from the Amazon here is what I am after http://fish.mongabay.com/acestrorhynchus.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tunnel Rat Posted January 28, 2007 Share Posted January 28, 2007 Not having any luck hey Ventralis they are a pussy fish anyway. What I have read they are real skittish in the Aquarium. If you are looking for a big toothed fish to big note about you cannot go pass a GATF now that's a fish Meet the Giant African Tiger Fish Close head shot Nice School of them in a tank The fish usually only reaches around 18" in the aquarium. The fish's bite allows them to tear chunks of flesh from their prey. Up to 7 inches in length the fish can be kept with other Tiger Fish after which they must be kept alone. This is NOT regarded as an aquarium fish but is often keep in big tanks. In Africa it is a nice sporting fish which has been found to grow up to 50lbs thats big. There are story's of schools of GATF ripping people apart in Africa. Rat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
