Hey guys I have a 30cm barra in the tank that is starting to get a bit big for it and surprisingly he ate all my other fish even the catfish.

If anyone wants to give him a new home send me a pm.

Cheers Marto

Can I offer a tip. I had a similar size barra I went to sell to a guy for $50. He came to pick up the barra and when I netted it the fish suddenly died. It's mouth was wide open and it's gills were pointing out wide, I think the fish went stiff too, like he suddenly died of shock. I had to give the guy his $50 back as well.
I asked a mate who breeds and sells fish and he said this can happen sometimes to large fish that aren't used to being handled or netted. He said he puts a little mild tranquilizer in the tank before he handles large fish. Good luck with it anyway.
Cheers
MD

I've got a feeling this one should be alright as I have a 4 year old that loves to chase him around the tank with the net when no one is looking but thanks for the advice MD.
