While you are waiting to get the new tank get a 70 gallon rubbermaid water trough and a couple large sponge filters and heaters, it will cost under $100 total. Keep the pacu in that for the time being, they measure 24"tall, 40 1/2"long and 32" wide and are very sturdy. It would provide a resonable home forthe pacu while waiting and that would also improve conditions for your other fish, A sheet of eggcrate light diffuser can work as a lid and all the stuff can be reused for other projects once you get the large tank running.

Great advice. It is always good to have extra supplies laying around when you have the pond set up. Listen to master guppy....
 
If its temporary dont get to crazy with it just remember to make the fish comfy until his new perm. home is done. Its all gonna work out.
 
the rubbermade brand is pretty expensive, you may consider the rubberized troughs as a cheaper alternative (same concept)
 
Thank you. I just moved around some fish. I placed the two oscars and the knife fish in a small 30g indoor pond for now (heated), and moved the pleco to another community I have setup. Though I had to make space for more fish, the aquarium now contains the 12" pacu, 6" Black Shark, and 4 2 1/2" Sun Catfish. Sound better?
