Congrats on the good luck getting them rehomed!

Sounds like perfect solution managed to surface in the end.

wanna hear a crazy one

today a new university student walks in here asking me if I want to rehome a 24 inch pacu, to which I tell him I actually hate pacus and give him the story about mine. he will be placing an add shortly to see if his can be rehomed that way

THANKS BUT NO THANKS!!!!!

LOL... thats a coincidence!

Think there are quite a few people in that position unfortunately!

you could allways find a zoo to take it, or use the weber method with a ceder plank and olive oil with a dash of lemon pepper lol

Are you for real, IMHO if someone does that they should not own fish.

"Cruelty - Cammo X Says NO!"

Good to see your looking for somewhere to house it.

now about giving the fish the best life I can once I have it.

I took a 10 hr bus ride, rented a uhaul truck and bought a 8 ft 300g in calgary alberta and then drove all night to get the tank home. A total of 35 or so hours with no sleep all to get a larger tank for this pacu. So I would say I have done pretty good with giving it a good life. Now if only my home fish room was done I would have a 700-1500g pond for it to live in.

I have tried to do the lfs option, but, no takers on a 22" pacu. I also tried the offer it out there for free rehome but had people with 55-90g tanks wanting the fish and I could not let it go to a downgrade.

I am really considering more than a few options, and though irresponsible it may seem, I am not going to murder this fish out of anger. Rather I would prefer that other fish like my emperor, my 3 zilli tilapia and a few other very uncommon fish don't get eaten alive. When I rehomed this pacu my studies on the net showed that it would be a peaceful tank mate.

Just so yall know I am not adverse to pacu, because I have 2 in the tank and only one has become a jeckle an hyde fish.

I am goining to sit on this for a day or 2 as the pacu has killed a fish with a 3 week break inbetween rampages. will have to see what people say

Eat it. I hear Pacu is delicious. Real flakey. That is, as long as you don't use chemicals.



Edit: FML I didn't bother to read the whole thread like a dumby. Congrats!
