so is 5ft x 2ft x 2.5ft... the issue in keeping the pacu is
1) it will grow too big for the tank so sooner or later you have to let it go
2) if the growth is much faster than the gar and arowana, it is very likely the pacu will eat them
3) The gar may not have enough food to eat as it is too slow

it's your choice if you want to take the risk

At 2.5ft height, you may want to consider some bottom feeders to clear all remaining food especially if you are not going to keep the pacu

i have 1 but i would think 2 is fine... just that your tank at 5ft, when they all grow up... the top may look crowded while the bottom is empty... any questions maybe we go back to your existing thread... so as not to derail the thread here... cheers
