Is this overstocked?

[Kobeclone]

I apoligize if this is in the wrong section.

In a 300 gallon:
1 Silver Arowana
1 Pacu
1 Lima Shovelnose(maybe 2 if I am not already overstocked)

I was going to start construction on the 300 gallon (72" Length X 40"width X 24" High) tommorow if this is stocking list is not overstocking it.

I have the aro and lima both growing out, so they will definitely be in the tank, and I have always wanted a pacu. My main concern is if the pacu is going to overstock my tank.

While it wont be overstocked initially the pacu will outgrow your tank.

 

[Kobeclone]

I kind of guessed that.

i say the pacus fine.
I'd keep him. I seriously doubt if you dump him off at the lfs he'll get anything bigger than a 300gal.

Stocking also depends on filtration. What will you use?

55 gallon W/D and a smallish canister,probably around 600 gph,to polish.

I have to agree with Joex, although a 300 isn't really IDEAL for a pacu 99%, of pacus are lucky to be in a 125...

 

[stingray man]
