Hey guys,
A week ago I got a baby red bellied pacu and he is already one of my favorite fish. He eats mostly flakes but when I put in blood worms, shrimp, and brine shrimp for my other fish he seems to love them and eats till he's fat. He doubled in size in one week and if he keeps this growth rate up I'll have to re-home him pretty soon.(my tank is way to small) but I'm worried he and his silver dollar buddy aren't getting enough veggies in their diet. I tried carrots and lettuce but they didn't show any interest in them. What are the best vegetables to feed them? Should I got some veggie flakes? I also heard in the wild they eat Brazil nuts. Are there any nuts similar to this that are easier to find? As he grows I will keep updating on this thread and try posting pictures.
