Huge Pacu

I'm sure you can maxilaria :) I appreciate the offer but I just can't afford anything but maintenance on my FW tanks right now. I want to get more skilled with fish keeping before I venture into saltwater anyway. I can live with dead 75 cent danio's, it's the $50 lionfish that would make me cry :) My wife really wants seahorses (of course, the hardest to keep from what I've seen). I think someday I'll have a small tank with seahorses but I want to venture into cichlids and such first. I'm still prettymuch a beginner although I learn pretty fast when I'm interested in something. thanks, KYle

BTW, are you also a member of NASIOC? The name is familiar. I go by RoadRashed on that board and every other board I frequent (just wouldn't have made much sense here. :D ).

Yeah, same name on NASIOC. I have an SVX. (usually hang out in OT...some in the MWIC)
 
gulps a nice fish, the one oscar i had caught holeinhead. i was just at the pet store today and looked at the trade in tank the usual guys were gone and there were about 5, foot long oscars, you could probably even get them free if your a regular customer. i dont know how some of you guys can do it when i talk to people from smaller cities that have troble finding anything. here in southern california 125 gallon tanks with stands are like 100 dollars in the paper and a little over 200 with everything including fish. theres like 25 pet stores i visit atleast once a month. only bad thing we are far from big als distribution centers.
 
they don't even get that big, max 36" and that's pushing it

Actually pacu's can live up to 70 or 80 years old and can grow to a staggering 48"!
 
black pacu can, red pacu don't get that large.
However, black pacu only get that large in the wild. If that weren't the case the pacu at the vancouver aquarium would be well over the 36" they are right now.
They're in a 50,000g aquarium that has the water automatically changed every hour on the hour, no growth stunting going on in there.
