Let's see all those "gentle giants"...post your Pacu!!!

They are truly #one in personality and charm... and yet fun with their gigantic size and gentle enough to have small fish with them.. they are all around awesome as we both know so well

we both know this very well! she shares the tank w/ some vary fragile tankmates and she does very well w/ them. feeding time is the only time she gets a little too excited, but i just throw up a temporary divider to keep her in line. after all the fish have safely eaten i remove the devider and all is calm again. it's kind of like having a kid and you just have to remind them...No running in the house! lol.

oh that is too funny... perfect that you have everything under control though and are able to distribute the food evenly.. they get so excited about being first in line, they shake rattle and roll to get there..

after the first week of trying to feed all the other tankmates i knew i had to come up w/ something to hold her back. i just slide the divider in between her and everyone else and hang onto it tightly. if a piece of shrimp gets too close to the divider she will try her best to get it. it's been working perfectly though. where there's a will there's a way.

Well, it looks like it is time to start a pacu club!! Just kidding, seriously, no one start another club. They are anoying.

I haven't taken any new pics lately. I need to do that. I will post them here asap.

Demjor, I feed mine baby carrots, too. They usually swim around, holding them like a cigar for a while, then start chewing. Have you heard the crunching yet? You can stand across the room and hear mine crunching carrots. It's so funny.

Everyone else, awesome pacu pics...Keep them coming!
