Well, I bought the barramundi. Released 110 1 inch long voracious little monsters the second week in Novemeber. I watched them sink away as I released them and wondered if I would ever see any of them again. I have walked the pond edge almost every day and could not find a one until yesterday, they are very distintive. I was watching a group of about 200 fry swimming along the edge when something shot up into their midst and was gone. I watched for several more minutes and it happened several more times as the fry swam past the same area of the first strike. I finally saw that there were two fish who were eating the fry, both barramundi. The fry would swim by the barramundi then when attacked they would swim a few feet out from shore and be attacked by some red tilapia fingerlings. Something I had never seen before. I have seen fingerlings feeding on pellets innermingled with fry and the fry not being touched. So I don't know what caused the fingerlings to attack. I watched the fry swim 100' or so along the bank and only be attacked in the one place where the barramundi were hiding.
