Wanted to do this thread just to chart how fast this fish grows. I am very bad at keeping manual logs. Lol. Bought it about about 3 months ago at the LFS about the size of a quarter. It is already almost the size of a baseball. Eating predominantly pellets although it scarfs anything given if chopped up small enough,, i.e. peanuts, zucchini, shrimp,, tilapia, anything. Have had many larger pacus in the past, as large as almost 3'. But acquired them at around 1' already. Never had an albino before. Growing it out to go in the 1000gal for awhile hopefully. It needs another big dumb filler fish. Lol again.20230721_153428.jpg20230721_155453.jpg
 
Sorry off the bat for the awful pics. The camera on my current phone is garbage. Doofy got moved to the 1000gal a couple months ago, shortly after last post. About a foot long but packing on girth like crazy. Absolute pig. The gourami is about 20-22" for size reference.20240602_131224.jpg20240602_131209.jpg20240602_131205.jpg
 
Looking good, Gpdriftwood Gpdriftwood ! Any further updates on this guy? Is he showing any personality or interactiveness?

My guy is larger than yours but has lost almost all of his red. What’s his diet like?
