Scientific Name: Ctenolucius hujeta
This picture shows three young 5" long Fresh Water Barracudas swimming together. These fish usually stay together along side one another in a
group. They can grow to be 9" long and probably live for many years.
Comments
Fresh Water Barracudas are predators that eat fish that will fit into their mouths. Like most predaceous fish they will
ignore most fish that they can't swallow. This fish is also called a Blunt Nosed Car, Gar Characin, and Hujeta Gar.
Appropriate Home
Eventually a very large aquarium with an
exterior power filter with a BIO-Wheel,
and a maximum of 1/4 inch of
gravel. The water temperature should be between 75 and 80 degrees F. Click

small worms such as Black Worms. Click

Compatibility
We have kept a few Fresh Water Barracudas in our aquariums for a few weeks, until they were acclimated and ready
to be shipped to the customers, who ordered them, so we don't feel qualified to discuss compatibility.
The Fresh Water Barracudas, shown in the video at the top of this page, live in a very large aquarium with several other Fresh Water Barracudas, a few Anostomus
species, and several Anableps. A Plecostomus Catfish would also be a compatible tank mate for Fresh Water Barracudas. Click
here to read more about several other groups of compatible fish.
Size and Lifespan
The Freshwater Barracuda can grow to 9" long. This species probably lives for several years.

About our Fish Photographs ...
Almost all the photographs and videos, shown on this web site, were taken
by us in our aquariums of our fish. Compare the healthy,
beautiful, energetic fish in our beautiful aquariums to the
fish in our competitors pictures. Their fish often look thin
with clamped fins and poor color.
We buy the highest quality fish, produced by the best fish
farms or caught by the best collectors of wild fish, then we take incredibly good care of our fish in our beautiful aquariums. If you compare the pictures on this site to our competitors pictures, you can instantly see, our fish and aquariums are better!
;^ }
Will the fish you get from us look like the fish in our pictures? No! This is similar to buying kittens and puppies, that will change as they grow to become cats and dogs. We stock and ship fish that are the ideal size to sell. Not so small that they will not do well when shipped. Yet not so big that they have become much more expensive. The fish in almost all of our pictures were young fish like the ones we have for sale that we raised up, and you can too!
