That's not even close to large enough. For adult pacu, the smallest size to keep them in humanely would be 8'x3'x2.5'. I have a large pacu (nearly two feet in length) in a 6x2x2.5 tank, and believe me, it is nowhere near adequate housing.
 
Good luck to you, I had 2 of these guys like 2 years ago when I was ignorant and knew nothing about fish keeping, they were in a 55! That tank doesnt exist anymore...guess why.
