what should i be feeding to my baby 3" pacu's? i hear alot about fruits/veggies and would really like to provide the best. in the 10 days ive owned them they have been eating hikari gold and market shrimp and they have already grown noticably, but think its time i start expanding their diet.
 
Peas, corn, little pieces of cucumber, lima beans, the green hikari cichlid pellets... use your imagination! If they don't eat it after a few tries, just try it again in a couple of months. Definitely keep throwing in the shrimp pieces, though, as well as fish fillet pieces... variety is a good thing.
 
No problem... I'm GUESSING I don't have to give you the speech on how large they will get... Hopefully, you know that before long, they'll be big enough to go to the fridge and get their own snacks!
 
Sounds great! Just keep them away from the phone... I've already caught mine ordering pizza... lol. I make up lots of stories about my fish. I'm wierd.
