I'm pretty sure that's a myth. Largest I've heard of was 13".

I hope so and I am glad to hear that. It will fit nicely with my plans for later on.
 
I have read that P. Blochii will reach 27 inches! Never seen one that large said:
Sure that wasn't 27cm? I have a P. Blochii that is 9" and all he is doing is getting thicker. He has to be about 5 years old.
 
ya the cichlids and cats are going in the 125. and the pacu is gonna go in their for as long as he can, then he is going on my wall, to remind me to always do my research before buying a fish. i am also gonna put a red texan on hold while im there!!! i love that lfs

From reading his sig, looks like he also has a 125.


I'm not so sure we can count on that. I think hes another one of those kids that are imagining his parents will buy it or allow him to have a big tank. Hes been making tons of threads about fish and tanks and problems like these. I really hope he has everything straightened out.

This fish is aggresive to small fish in a large aquarium. They can grow over 27 inchs and weigh 4 pounds. They will eat small fish, but they are good with oscars until they get big.

Personally, I think its bull, but I have never known anyone other than myself that had them and I saw how slowly my other guy grew, so I figured worse case, I will at least 3 years which means I will no longer be in University and should have a career.

Off topic I know and I am sorry for that.

That's just one of the comments (not that the info on that site's articles is any better...). Literally anyone can write a comment on that site (no membership or anything like that required), so for all we know, that could be an 8 year old who has 5 goldfish in a 2 gallon... That is definitely false, and I would guess the poster was confusing P. blochii with something like a channel cat.

On another note, I have most kids blocked including this one, yet I still see his thread, which kind of defeats the purpose of ignoring someone...
 
actually i own the tank. and the reason i have so many q's is cause i was fed a ton of bs by lots of people. and the pacu thing was a joke, computers dont go with sarcasm. also if your refering to my threads about mini tanks, and ideas for new tanks, that would be because i have 3 hobbies, designing and keeping up tanks for exotic animals as well as keeping them, football(american) and fishing. also why do people hate it when kids like me have an interest in things like this. i have been in to exotic animals for as long as i can remember. and my parents actually think it is cool that i like the things the other kids think are boring.
