Those pacus will not only outgrow a 150,they will probably destroy it.

[BigFishKeeper]

Please folks...comment on the fish..let's not argue tank size....thanks.

[Plec123]

nice fish.

at the risk of being yelled at by bob, im just gonna say that red and black pacus can both outgrow a 300.

Great looking fish BFK....

If I'm not mistaken.... Red bellied pacus grow 42''.

And also, the Clown knife grows to 40''.

i like the rocks.

[laurenrocksth]

BFK, all kidding aside, I really do hope that your fish does well. He looks very healthy.

One piece of advice that I would give you from experience is not to have any decor that he can get into but not out of. When I had mine, I had a cheesy fake piece of DW with a couple holes in it and didn't really think much of it. One morning, I woke up and the CK's face was sticking out one hole and his tail from the other. There wasn't space for his head to fit through the first hole and there wasn't room for him to turn around. I ended up having to pull him out by his tail. He got pretty scraped up but was eventually fine.

Just thought I'd share 'cause it was a pretty horrific experience for me and I'd hate for you to go through that with your new fish :)

Alex, I'm not gonna drag the tank size issue over 2 forums, and for the sake of keeping up with the requests of the staff, I will simply say

Nice fish.
Was that too blatant :rofl:

[zzyzx85]

nice fish and good luck.

[abcdefghi]

Your tank looks much better than the last time I saw pics :) fish are looking neat!

[Jaykit]

Good looking fish.

[BigFishKeeper]

Thanks guys for the good comments...
This past Sunday I traded my dat for a 2'' redtail giant gourami and a 3'' red oscar.
My plans are when these guys outgrow the 150 add to a 300 then a 5500 gallon indoor pond.

Happy holidays/Merry Christmas 2009

I would have kept the dat but that's me :P


I would keep an eye on your new residents to make sure your larger ones don't eat them. 2 inches is awful small.

[BigFishKeeper]

Yes I know... 2'' is just a guess I don't know actual size..
