Not even one pacu can go in a 75, but 2 pacus, an oscar, a tin foil barb and 2 blood parrots?!!!?!!
Wow, you need to really rethink things here. That is overstocked to the point of being cruel to the animals. You either need a MUCH larger tank or to find a new home for some of those monsters.

like i said the tank was intended for a single pacu and a single oscar. being the largest tank i could find i bought it but the lady said it needed to come with all of the fish. i am not planning on keeping the big pacu as he is pure evil with fins. i am upgrading in november to a 150 gal+ but right now i am very busy. if all else fails i will take him to petco and put him up for adoption.
150 gallons isn't big enough for 1 pacu either. I don't think you understand how big a pacu is.
No pacus can live in a 75 gallon tank, and no pacus can live in a 150 gallon tank.
I have one in a 210. He was put in there in April, and will need a new and larger tank before Christmas. He is growing that fast. Yours isn't evil with fins.... its stressed out at the lack of swimming space. It simply can't have any personal space in that small a tank. Don't blame the fish....

ok listen. i am getting a pond setup as well for them. just a normal swimming pool that i will put sand and driftwood in. a normal 10ft diameter pool. i know exactly how big pacus get. i didn't not to long ago but after criticism like this i understand now. they are going in the pond as soon ASAP. period. end of discussion. you can keep saying that i don't understand but i wouldn't be building a pool in my living room if i didn't understand.
im getting my priorities straight, im not perfect like most of you with your fish. but i have a plan that will kind of help all my fish out. i might get a 120 gallon for my oscars and maybe a few more fish, i will get a pool for the pacu and maybe get a few other fish for the pond, and keep the 75 and 55 for my smaller cichlids etc. please tell me that i am doing at least one thing right, if not then i might as well give all my fish away and take up skateboarding and be a little sh@$
haha i had two tinfoils before that were 12" freaking monster fish i say. lol i never knew that they'll get that big also. so i had to sell them.
