hey mate,

Barra need saltwater to breed, and all evidence seems to say it's pretty much impossible without it :( I hope the stocking works out well ;D

cheers,
Tim.

Hi Scotty,

Yes it is true that barra require saltwater to breed, but will actually swap to salt water at about 10mm+. Their eggs and earlly larvae just dont handle freshwater.

What else would you like to know about them i guess ask away either here or directly email me on here and i will help if i can :).

Andrew
