[choppah]

I went to the bahooka restaurant in rosemead CA, that place is more of an aquarium than restaurant. Anyways they have a giant pacu at least 3 ft long and according to the owner 31 years old heres my vid the pacu is at the 2min mark, one of the biggest pacu ive seen

Keeping your fish tanks in your place of business is a great way to have a tax deductible hobby

Despite the note that the Pacu wrote (lol), I still think he would be happier in a larger tank. But at 31 years old in the same tank I guess I can't say he "needs" a bigger one.

There is a fish store near Charlotte, NC that has a 34 year old Pacu (born the same year as me) and a 25 year old Red Tail Cat (born the same year as my ex). Their Pacu is in a 5' 150 gal (if I remember correctly) and the shop owner admits it would prefer a bigger tank. But again, at 34 years old in the same tank, who am I to say it "needs" a bigger one.

The Ripley's Aquarium in Myrtle Beach used to have 5 or 6 3'+ Pacus. Theirs were in a 1200 gal aquarium. They decided to get rid of them because they felt they needed a larger tank.

I'm glad that restraunt isn't in my town... I would go broke eating there 5 days a week

Thanks for sharing!

That Pacu is a monster he is ready for a real big tank. He needs atleast a 48" wide tank. Theres a good looking Jag in that vid as well.

the tank is 300 gal I think and they feed him vegetables the owner says he like carrots not whole one of course

they serve all sorts of food but mainly hawaiian dishes and the prices were sorta expensive, unfortunaly i only ate a salad that day i was too busy looking at all the fish too eat food.
I was like a lil boy in a candy shop they had some nice setups

If he is near three feet, the tank looks a bit larger than 300 gallons but the video is dark. Awesome fish. Any pacu that size in South America would find its way onto a BBQ in a snap. thanks for sharing.
