nice but too much crap in the tank

what you mean to muc crap? the plats hide the over flows and the lava rock and rainbow rock are in the back.
 
Tank looks good and I wouldn't worry about the pacu filling out the tank. Don't think there is too much stuff, just some things can't be made invisible, or at stay that way when they are.
 
thanks
 
Nice tank. Looks like you got plenty of hiding spots for your fish.

What, exactly, did you mean? I mean, a black pacu can reach lengths of 3 and 1/2 feet and weigh 60 lbs! 180 gallons won't hold that fish. You're going to need more like 1000 gallons if you plan on keeping it for life.
 
yes i agree with you but ive had pacu before and many of them as well as friends haveing them. one friend of mine had a black pacu like me that was 24" long and very heavy. my friend had the pacu for 7 yrs in a 90 gallon tank. the fish is now at petland in manchester in a 300 gallon setup and very happy. has been there for 2 yrs. so it all depends on if there int he wild or not.

Exactly that. The fish would get more than big enough to meet that requirement.

:D No kidding! I guess that's a bit of an understatement.
