wow man you preach a lot. The odd thing is they werent smacking into the glass. They were in the 110 since they were 6 inches! Would you call the fact that the petstore contain 20 1-2 inch pacus in a 10 gallon tank cruel? Is that my fault for not doing research on too? Get real man. This happened 4-5 years ago, you act as though I was supposed to have done research? I did that the only thing the research didnt cover was how fast they grow, it just states fast. not faster than any other fish youve ever seen(which was the case. Go preach to someone else Im just telling my story with pacus from years ago, I dont need some know it all preaching to me when I already learned from experience.
 
---"I dont need some know it all preaching to me when I already learned from experience."
---It doesn't sound like you learned anything at all.

---"wow man you preach a lot"
---I am not a man. I am female, so please don't call me man.

---"you act as though I was supposed to have done research?"
---Yep, that's what I'm saying (and have been, for like thirty posts)

---" They were in the 110 since they were 6 inches!"
--- This method clearly worked, as they slowly ate each other.

--- "Would you call the fact that the petstore contain 20 1-2 inch pacus in a 10 gallon tank cruel? "
--- I don't give a crap what the pet stores do. You know what's right. You should do it.

It's your responsibility. And karma's a... well, you know. Good luck!
 
Thats the thing about some of these forum goers, you go to tell a story of yours and they look for anything in any sentence you write to try and criticize you for it and act like they know more than you. I never said I did everything perfect but I never said I didnt learn anything in the process or wanted advice from some self proclaimed know it all, who for all i know actually know nothing like the rest of the ones who claim they know everything. Simple to talk and tell what should be done, things are easier said then done. "Build a pond for your fish" --yeah like in the middle of winter with snow on the ground or when its 30 degrees out Im gonna go grab a shovel and start digging. Like all the other pacus who were bought from the 10 gallon in the pet store ended up perfectly fine, all the other people had plenty of room and did a ton of research, all those fishs are still living today all because the pet store did a great job at explaining to everyone they grow over an inch every month.(or wait the pet stores dont say that.) Everyone just knows from all the great research available or just by common sense. I suppose some diseased gold fish or some other diseased fish in the wild wouldve made a safer meal than an occasional hotdog or piece of hamburger. (and try not to let your imagination run too loose this time they weren't from mcdonalds and they werent eating big macs every day.
 
how bout everyone shuts their trap and agree's to disagree. for f!^k sake is anyone actually shocked to see a big pacu in a little tank? this crap happens all the damn time.

either know in your mind your taking care of YOUR fish the best you can, let everyone else worry bout theirs.

this crap gets old, its the same thing over and over and over, all the time.

Woah woah woah, let's not get carried away now. I think the reason you didn't say you never did everything perfect, was well. Because you didn't really do anything good for your fish. Dude. I knew more about fish than you did when I was 7 for ****s sake. Research isn't that hard and only takes like 15 minutes to get the basics on a fish.

And Justonemoretank DOES know more than you about fish and probably a lot more things judging by your selfless attutude. You obviously didn't "love" your fish as you so bluntly stated.

What did you think these fish ate in the wild? You think they go up to the swim through and go "WHOPPER!" "SPICY CHICKEN SANDWICH!" No, they don't eat cows either.

Building a pond for your fish isn't like you think. Pacu are tropical fish which obviously can't be kept out side for more than summer time. A pond can be indoors too. It's this hella easy thing called research that would have told you that. OH WAIT A SECOND! You forgoed that a long time ago.

Just quit blaming the fish for your problems and making stupid things up. Lemme recite a famous from an all time favorite movie that I think you'll recognize. "Stupid is as stupid does."

Umm you said you were blaming the fish in all your posts lol. YOu should liketake a spellingenglish class and lrn2 use grammer. Or maybe stop playing with yourself and using one hand to type. And I can guarantee I know a LOT more than you.

I'm pretty sure their funny. Just because you are the butt of the joke doesn't mean you have to PMS. I mean, you're ruining the carpet for Christ's sake. I'm not kissing up to anyone. I'm just letting you know how it is. Don't get me started on the whole girlfriend thing. And 7th grade I'm in highschool for ****s sake.
 
High school? lol oh that explains it then. I think you should go back to playing Call of Duty and end your hopes of becoming the next Conan OBrian because your jokes are lame and overimaginative.

Why would I blame a fish for something man get off your wacky way of thinking and quit trying to act like you are some kind of perfect aquariumist. I just stopped in here to say I used to own pacus a few years back and what the experience was. You come on all dramatic get real high school boy.

I'll make it simple for you ok. I bought pacus when they were young. They grew very fast and ate anything. They were more aggressive than I expected them to be. Most people say they are vegetarians but they are not. My pacus grew big for my 110 gallong tank. I tried to get rid of them no one wanted them. Try to understand that in an adult way without using your little boy imagination to stir things up and instigate b.s. later
