Finding a Pacu a new home

[Scuba NC]

Hello All,

I was wondering if anybody could assist me ( or give me an idea who to call ) in finding a "good" home for my Black Pacu. He is currently about 19 inches long, and housed in a kids swimming pool inside my home. Yes weird, but he has out grown his 180 gal tank I had him in. I have called just about every Aquarium up and down the Eastern Seaboard without luck.
Any help would be great.

Thanks

Allan,


I absolutely agree they shouldn’t be in the hobby. I got himwhen he was the size of a quarter, without knowing what kind of fish hewas. I just can’t put him down, and willdo whatever is necessary to keep him happy and healthy.
