i agree that pacus shouldnt even be sold in lfs's to the common public--i just dont get it! these lfs's will do anything to make a buck at an animals expense.. its so sad.


same goes for most species of catfish.

most catfish, full grown, probably take 5 gallon dumps!
 
I like petsmart but they are retards when it comes to keeping fish. At my local petsmart they had TONS of sick fish and I tell the lady that and she rolls her eyes at me I was like I will never buy fish here again.
 
LOL, man that girl is dumb. Also I always here bad things about Petsmart on here. Reminds me of Pet Cetera that we have in Canada but most of shut down locally here and I never shop there for fish.
 
Oh and talk about sick fish at petsmart. The bala shark's I bought at petsmart HAVE ICK!!!! so now treating tank for the ick. NEVER BUY FISH FROM PETSMART!!!!
 
They are all the same...two days ago I was at petco buying cat food on sale. Fish guy was talking with a customer about how great plecos are because they will keep your tank water and glass clear. Guy then said was a new tank, could he put fish right into it?

Sure can mister, 2 common plecos later bagged up, saw them checking out the "aggressive" section together. Girlfriend told me to shh when I was talking to myself and to behave
 
There used to be a pic floating around with this guy holding a 40" plus pacu that had to weigh 100+ lbs....you could tell he had just fished it out of a river but it was big enough to feed a village for a month and underneeth it said "Your pacu could get this big" anyone have that pic?
 
Wow. I have owned pacu for years and I don't know about giving a pacu to just anyone. Owning one takes on a big responsibility. Yes, these fish can get really large. I hope the pacu are ok? Eventually they will die from being crammed in a small tank. You could check the public aquariums and they might have taken the pacu. They are great fish and they are one of my favorite fish. Good luck to all the pacu owners.
 
Is there any update on the fish? You should go ask the lady how the fish are , and shed some light on her that she should add a couple digits to that 85. I understand what you did , but maybe once you get a special connection with a fish , you'll have more of a heart for all of them. Killing the fish is always better than torture.
 
Here's the bottom line....Fish are animals just like any other animal, euthinasia is always better than torture! Your no better for giving her the fish....

PS: Not all Petsmart employees are stupid morons looking to make a buck!
I don't think Petsmart should sell Pacu....The tags at my Petsmart say 24"+ and sadly the tank min is 75gal+

So stop generalizing Chain Stores....
