Hello MFK, thought I'd post some pics of my 75 gal. I'll update later, my catfish are camera shy. The sevs came with the tank and had hole in the head, fin rot, a bacterial infection in the eyes and got ick a week after setup! The ick is gone, fins are regrowing, hole in the head is completely gone on the big male and is much improved on the smaller female and the male can see now. I have the best fed crawdad in Texas, Nixon, who has molted twice in two months. He cost 45 cents at the grocery store. I found the Raphael in a LFS that didn't even know he was in the tank. He's the biggest one I've ever seen (9") and the clerk had no idea what to charge me, so I got him for $15.99. Pics of him soon. The pacu has a pond waiting for him when he grows out, so don't worry about him. I hope you enjoy.

Welcome to MFK. Nice set up. Love the crawdad. You know how big a Pacu gets right?

pretty sure he does, he said he has a pond waiting for it.

wow your fish dont attempt to try to eat the crawfish?

Haha, the opposite actually. During feeding time today he grabbed the large sev on the lip and tried to drag him under the driftwood, hilarious.
 
That crawfish is a beast! What kind is it? That raphael sounds like a freakishly large one, I thought they only grew to 6".
