Just sharing the Bolomans pacu tank folks! I recently returned to aquarium fish keeping and wanted to share my 200 gallon pacu tank. There are albino and black pacu fish in there ranging from 22-26 inches and thick. I run my own DIY 4 stage filtration system too. A Hamburg matten pre filter hides my DIY overflow/syphon/skimmer (stage 1) then water goes through a solids filter (stage 2) then gravity fed into wet/dry tower (stage 3) then into my barrel sump with more DIY moving bed filter media (stage 4) and a single pump returns back into tank. Any feedback is greatly appreciated! Mahalos for looking. Aloha Bolo

Aloha marlong! I got a sweet deal on the tank so figured I would try keeping big fish. Pacu are very interesting fish

The albinos look awesome at that size. They must consume amazing amounts of food.

Aloha knh! Yea they do eat a lot! I make my own sinking feeds using good high protein pellets, fresh vegetables, some fruits, garlic and Knox gelatin. The bio load on these monsters are pretty significant but with the diy feed I minimize the load on the filters. Thanks again!
