>>> How big do the barracudas get?

From our own Fish Index.

with a giagantic tank they could... 100+ gallons. FW barracudas get big. Not sure if the barracudas would eat the gudgeons...

Depends if they are the true common freshwater barracudas though.

And what is a common true FW baracuda then?

So called FW baracudas are members of the Acestrorhynchus genus of south American pike Characins which contains 17 known species, the most commonly imported of which are Acestrorhynchus falcirostris, Acestrorhynchus falcatus (red tailed baracuda) and Acestrorhynchus isalinae. Adults of both A.falcirostris and A.falcatus are likely to eat purple striped/spotted gudgeons but A.isalinae which only attains a adult size of around 6" could be housed with them safely.

I dont know. But i doubt the one that black convict is looking to get is one of the smaller pike characins. They are the normal ones you see in a petstore, well the normal ones you see here anyway.

That's why I asked what size they will get to. If you want one of the large ones, forget the gudgeons. Also, I think you only have a 55 gallon so it better not be one of the larger ones...

They dont have a common name, only fish that are commonly seen in the shops have English common names.
