No matter how small the cuda that would have to be a HUGE tank. especially is you wanted other fish in there. I can imagine they are very messy and would require alot of water changes.
the min tank size for them is 300 gal and i heard that they have to be alone like a cuda only tank

This is a fish that should never be kept in a home tank. Anyone who has ever been diving with them can see this. They are way too active. (and we worry about tangs having swimming space!) I know one major online dealer who quit selling then, except to public aquaria.

Barracudas are semi-large pelagic fish. Growing over 4' in no-time and are perfectly capable of swimming the open ocean. 300gals is really just a tiny pen. And yea, either you start off with just a barracuda, or with other fish, you're just going to end up with one upset cuda...

Yeah, and most of these fish literally stress themselves to death within a few days. I knew someone in the Keys who tried catching them for sale and most wouldn't even last the first night in a giant, outdoor concrete runway.

agreed. these things can get HUGE in the wild, and they are some of the fastest swimmers out there. It might be able to survive, but I would leave this fish in the ocean. I guess it was a blessing in disguise that I didn't get this fish
