The Barca Snakehead is native to the Brahmaputra river in India and Bangladesh. These fish are considered excellent fare by the local cuisine, but internationally, Barcas are coveted for their rarity, looks, and predatory nature. The species is listed as critically endangered by the IUCN red list.
Barca Fish aren’t the most well-documented species of the aquarium hobby. They’re rarely found in private tank setups, and there’s not a lot of research to be found. Nonetheless, one thing is clear regarding the species’ diet: they’re primarily carnivorous. You can find clues as to their diet preference from their morphology. These fish have long and powerful bodies, along with elongated dorsal fins. They’re also particularly known for the flattened shape of their heads and large mouths with rows of potent teeth.
As juveniles, Barca Fish generally tend to go after insects, snails, or plankton as a food source. Aquarists should note that even at such a young age, their teeth are powerful enough to break through the shells of snails to get to the meat inside.
Once these fish achieve adulthood and reach their maximum size, they’re able to take on bigger prey. These include crabs, fish, frogs, birds, shrimp, and even small aquatic animals. Notice how there’s no mention of the Barca Fish eating anything remotely plant-based.
In the wild, it’s not uncommon for these fish to go hunting for prey in groups when juveniles. That’s likely more to do with safety in numbers than being a community fish.
Once Barcas are sexually mature and have the advantage of their muscular bodies and mighty jaws, they prefer to live in solitude.
Anyone thinking of keeping this species in a private aquarium is advised to ensure it’s a single-species tank. Barca Fish are somewhat aggressive to members of their own kind or any other species. Housing them with smaller fish will spell doom for the undersized counterparts, and they’ll eventually end up on the Barca’s menu if the stress of living with this mighty creature doesn’t get them first.

Great suit- worth the money
Size: XX-Large, Color: Purple, Size: XX-Large, Color: Purple
Great suit! It looked much more expensive than it was. My son got many compliments on it. (My only complaint is that the white pocket square is not removable but that’s minor).

Well made but on the small side. I recommend ordering one size bigger than your usual size
Size: Large, Color: Pure Black (Retro Rose)
The fit on this shirt ran slightly smaller for me being a slim fit, so I order the next size up. Getting the next size up gave me a perfect fit. The material is soft and comfortable. I will likely consider similar shirts in the future. I recommend the product.

Very nice shirt -Good Quality
Size: XX-Large, Color: Red (Retro Rose)
My husband is 6'1, weighs 178 pounds and normally wears a medium or large. Just for reference his pant size is a 32-34 depending on the brand. We ordered a large due to the fact the shirt appeared to be fitted more at the waist and from looking at the description I knew it would not have much stretch due to the satin type material. I was right. The large fit perfect and hung well. My husband use to be very large in shoulders and arms, but with age he has lost muscle mass, and recently lost a lot in his belly, so usually mediums fit perfect now. But when he put his large on, a medium would not have fit good to be comfortable & give proper fit in stomach area, so glad we went with the large.
The shirt was purchased to go on a Virgin Cruise for Scarlett night, and he plans to wear black pants with it as in the picture the company posted, and this shirt will be perfect for that. It is a nice shirt, good quality, and if someone wanted it for an event/cruise or just for a night to dress up, especially for a Caribbean/Spanish or Latin dance theme, this shirt is a perfect look to me. Buy it, you will not be disappointed. He has not worn it yet, not washed it, but I would not put in it with other colors, may fade a little like reds do, and definitely, only dry on low/delicate. May need a pressing/steaming, but overall, it was not horribly wrinkled when we received it. A toss in the dryer may just do the trick. Was delivered on time as it said it would. Hope this info helps you.
