Its a 750g and I'm thinking my current ~18" pacu might like a buddy. Do they rough house all the time?


I'm sure one of our pacu wishes he was the only pacu in the tank, as his brother is quite the bully. When Leonardo gets in his rambunctious mood, he goes after Adonis and tries to ram him with an open mouth. He chases the other pacu back and forth, creating tsunami waves in the tank. The overflow box goes slosh, slosh, slosh as the tidal waves hit it. Leo is usually the rowdiest after eating. In the small overcrowded 55 gallon tank, he would try to herd the other pacu and the four oscars into one corner of the tank and keep them there while he had the rest of the tank to himself. In the big tank, he only "herds" his brother Adonis and leaves the two oscars alone. I think our Leonardo would have made a great sheep dog! Leonardo has personality plus, and wants all the attention for himself. (He wants all the food too) He's the tank bully, but not in a malicious way. He's most exuberant when he greets us. His brother has a rather dull personality in comparison.

Thanks for the input.
 
Thank you everyone.. i think it is so cute how the little african now eats bananas, squash and pieces of carrots.. for some reason he was always beat up in all the other tanks we had him in..the pacus have taken him under their wing and i think he thinks he is a pacu..{he is starting to look like one to me}:grinno: He has been been with them for 5 months now.. and he never looked so happy..
