Help with Pacu

[RiverMonsterFisher]

Would a red belly pacu be fine in a two foot wide tank? Im thinking about getting one.

Also what are some basic needs that they need? Like what type of decor.

Two foot wide and how long?

a red belly pacu will need a 450 + gallon tank when grown... at least that is what 95 % of the threads I have read say any way ....

Two foot wide and how long?

NO to the Pacu in that tank!

Try Silver Dollars, look pretty similar.

 

[RiverMonsterFisher]

nope

Ok what are some other stocking that I could do.

I agree and depending on how many silver dollars you get you might be able to get a med sized fish as the center peice of the tank ... I heard silver dollars makes great dithers

If your measurements are correct, the tank you have is 134.65g

You have lots of options! Raise a single large bruiser like a Flowerhorn or Midas.

get a school of SDs and then one (or a pair) of centerpeice fish, either a couple bichirs or maybe go with a mid-sized SA cichlid (green terror or jack dempsey could be good, maybe even 1 of each and a school of 7-8 SDs but you'd have to ask somebody with more cichlid experience than i have)
