[jkost]

anyone here own a pacu?i have one in a 65gal until her new tank is finished.
im just wondering what sizes yours are.every one is telling me these mosters get 3ft long and just as tall.to be anest the largest red ive seen is maybe 20in
and a black maybe 30.so way do most people say they get 6ft and 200 pounds.show me a 3ft red in a aquruim.

maybe a little story telling to overemphasize the point that they get large.

It's rare to ever see a full size pacu because only a very few people give them the tank size they need. Most of the pacus seen in aquariums are stunted shells of what they could be. Sad really.

how many gallons will the new tank have?

how many gallons will the new tank have?

foot print is 9-4-4 about 1100 gallons.

 

[jm1212]

[fishcatch22]
