The other fish in the picture is a Tinfoil Barb. We have 2 of them that size. They are pretty "Monster" for Tinfoils! Sweet fish.
Those are gorgeous tin foil barbs..and they go great with the pacu...invokethegoddess;780356; said:
Here are a couple more pictures of our Pacu's withe their tankmates. A couple of Tinfoil Barbs, a Pleco, a handful of Firemouth Meeki, and some other odds and ends!
We got (adopted) our 180 about 4 months ago and the fish (except for the Pacu's ) came with the tank. The Tinfoils are about 6 years old we are told. There was 1 other but he didn't survive the transport
The tank was kind of a mess when we got it. No aeration and not enough adequate filtration, no heaters ect. Upgrading and cycling the tank was no easy task! The firemouth meeki almost completely lost her tail. It has now since grown back and all the fish are ok (minus the Tinfoil Barb). It had 2 Silver Dollars( about 6" each) that we re-homed to a friend. We saw the Pacu's at our local pet store. Some 
had the 2 of them in a 90 gallon and dumped them at the fish store when they got too big(He brought each one in a 5 gallon Pail). They were so cute and we thought they needed a better home so.....The biggest one has a piece of pink gravel stuck in his nose. We have contemplated taking it out... But not sure how. It doesn't seem to bother him.
We are relatively new to "fishkeeping" but we are completely "Hooked". We want MORE and BIGGER!! It really is addictive! Are there any 12 step programs out there?? We are planning on getting another 180 and splitting out tank...although there is much harmony in the tank as it is.
