Large Pacu (Help me out here)

[Hoyo12]

Not too long ago I got an email for another rescue. And as you should already have an idea as to what it is, it's also fairly large. About 20", which isn't exactly huge, but still a good size.
Now, I recently setup a 2,614-Gallon pool, which I'd rather call an indoor pond, lol, for the large rescues. He would have plenty of room to roam.
The problem? Parents. lol
They are both worried about adding him to the pond, and having him pick on the others already settled in the pond, because of their "small" size.
Stock:
6x Oscars 7"-13"
2x Eclipse Catfish 7"-8"
1x Channel Catfish 12"
2x JD's 7"-9"
and one 16" Long Nose Gar.
All are doing fine together, and also get enough food.
I have cared for Pacu before, so this isn't anything new for me, other than the size. (Had mine up until 10")
Do you see any major problems with the large size of the Pacu, and the others in the pond?
This whole thing saves the life of this Pacu, no pressure or anything, lol.(Owner's 2nd option is to kill it. Came across my site just in time. )
Hopefully getting pics tomorrow.

no problem unless your filtration isn't up to par

Using a DIY Canister Filter.

One good opinion... somewhat, lol.
Still looking for more!

I think the other inhabitants are safe, but also the temperment has to be taken into account

Now that's a good example, lol.
And that is understood as well. I'm unsure as to what he is being housed with currently, other than another Pacu.

I think you will not have any problems with adding the pacu. The size is a really good size and it can hold it's own. Good luck.

Pacu's can be mean little buggers, my 6" pacu killed my 10" GATF wihtin 30 minutes of putting it into the tank

It depends on the pacu. I'd assume it would be fine, but that is of course and assumption

I would get him and if it really becomes a problem with aggression, make a divider. I don't think that would be an issue on such a large pool/pond.

So we have some positive and negative things. Sounds like I just need to depend on the aggression of the fish itself.

Making a divider could be a problem, lol. But it's an idea.

Thanks to all of the responses. I'm hoping that I can save this big guy, and I'll have a better idea tomorrow. This thread will hopefully increase the chances of saving him, lol.
