i think i caught a barracuda in reynolds channel?

[saggese820]

someone please help me out. this looks like a barracuda without big teeth, and was caught in a killie trap in reynolds channel, lido beach. anyone with any information about it, what it is, care, etc.. and its in a 55 gallon with a 3 inch v-tail grouper, which has been chasing the new fish around a little bit, and a small 3 inch black fish caught in baldwin bay with a killie trap. so far so good...

Thats what it looks like. Sphyraena Borealis, (Northern Sennet) See if you can get a little more of the snout in a pic. Make sure you have a cover on your tank.

Definitely a Northern Sennet.

First off yes make sure you have a cover on that tank as they can and will jump. Second they are very fast with very sharp teeth so watch yourself please 'cudas do bite.

dont worry, the tank is 100% covered and i put some temporary weights on it just in case because i noticed it was very fast and likes to hang around the top. and anyone know any information about its aggresiveness towards other fish? diet? or any other needs? my grouper seems to be putting it in its place, even though its 1/3 the size.

Hope you can feed it killies on the regular... These things eat a lot, and need to be fed 2x a day in the beginning I use to have one 4 years ago... He's in my cousins 600 gallon in georgia now...
