Very true. Just look at how they are built. This fish is a sleek predator that needs open swimming room.

They are a terrible fish to keep in captivity in hobbyist tanks, IMO. They are very nice in extremely large tanks (think tens of thousands of gallons), but even then you will often see them with bashed in "noses" where they swam into the glass. Quite unfortunate. But this is defnitely a fish to have a "plan" for what you will do with it, should it survive.

I didn't know that you could even get a barracuda in an LFS. That's just nuts to even want one. :scared:
