Greenbacks in Aquarium

[Pneumatic_Addict]

Anyone done it? Seen it outside of public aquaria?

Group of 10-12 would be sweet in a 8’+ tank with Tangs & Angelfish.

(Atlantic Threadfin)

 

[i cant think]

So your title says ‘Greenbacks’ which is a Horse Makerel to my knowledge but your post is on about Atlantic Threadfins, which species do you mean?

Maybe pilchards.... Threadfins get like 7 inches long. They are going to need a lot of feedings.

Man do they really? Never netted any of those studs.

Given their size (max 12", average 10") and short lifespan (they reportedly live 1 year on average, hitting maturity at 7-9 months), I can't imagine many people would be willing to try keeping them.
