How many Red Pacu's Can I Have?

[aidenb]

I work with what I have and eventually I build up everyone cant afford to but a 1000 Gallon aquarium.

We all work with what we have but, if you can't afford a big tank, don't get big fish. Saying not everyone can afford this size of a tank does not make it ok to keep these fish.

I have a 110 gallon tank with:
2 red Pacu's about 6 inches each
1 Jack Dempsey - 6 inches
1 Four-lined Catfish - 3 inches
1 Black Shark - 6 inches
1 Pangasius Catfish - 6 inches
1 Green Terror -3 inches
1 Tilapia Buttikoferi - 3 inches
1 Featherfin Syndonis - 3 inches
2 Pleco - 4 - 5 inches

I am getting a silver arowana on monday and Wanted to know if i should remove one of the pacus considering they get pretty huge. the 2 pacus like to swim together but never seem to be fighting. The pacus are pellet trained and since i had them which was about 3 weeks, they have nearly tripled in size. will this growth continue causing "chaos" in my tank?

The tank is 4 feet long by 3 feet high and 2 feet wide.

Thank you

Have you seen this on this sit?

So sad that some don't even try to educate anymore just say things like it's animal cruelty and they should go to jail. Ever take a step back to think hey this might be a kid asking a question trying to be responsible by getting educated. Way to introduce them to the hobby and this forum. I bet you he thinks twice before posting again if he/she doesn't leave all together when people are so quick to attack and try and shame people. A real pity. We should all think before writing it's been said ample times there are kids on this site. So don't assume he's a JDMer. Find out first their intentions before calling them animal abuser's.

i never ONCE said he was intentionaly abusing them. i said given those fish and that size tank it's animal abuse(whether intentional or not) but if you actualy read my post i did educate him on some of the potential sizes of the fish he was keeping



yeah saying he should have gone to jail was an exageration (my bad)

zander's response was excellent. Other than that most of the crap in this thread is basically reflecting the fall in quality posts that I have seen mfk taking over these past few months that I have been away. Its. just. sad.

I will not believe this is nothing more than an April fools thread until I see a pic of this tank to verify.

strange that there is no pics..which to me, verifies that it is indeed an April Fool's Prank.

until then, its just a joke thread that suckered people in

Look at his other posts. I thought it was a joke too until I noticed he was trying to sell a Pacu. Now I'm not sure.

Post some pics dude!!
