Well, I originally own 2 pacu and when I went to order my larger tank for them I saw this pacu that nobody wanted. Now my new tank is all set up and I brought the new pacu home. The pacu is doing good and getting along with the other 2 pacu. One big family!!

the silence means "too small" and "yes, my first pic was the full tank"!!!

OP - just kidding :-)

since your biggest tank is a 90g im guessing thats what theyre in
 
when are people going to learn that the more pacu you have, the more digits you need in your pond gallonage

3 pacu will be at minimum 24" each within 2 years, even with only mimimal care. do you have any idea how much space those 3 fish will take up?

now imagine 3, 24" pacu getting spooked in a tank thats too small and all ramming the sides of their enclosure. indoor swimming pool anyone??

hopefully you already know all this, and have a tank/pond pushing, or over the 1,000g mark
 
Should've had BBQ Pacu fillets that night.
 
Thanks for all your advise everybody. I already know about the sizes and all that information. I know that they will need to eventually be moved to a larger tank or pond. Thanks again for the information and enjoy the photo. I will have more photos soon. If I need advise, I know where to go and ask. Thanks everybody. I have owned pacu for years.
