Sadly, Sammy passed away from HITH (it's a wonder the other fish didn't get sick). After his passing, two of the oscars ganged up on Freddy, the runt oscar. Freddy lives in the old 55 gallon tank by himself. We lost the two plecos last year, so we're down to 5 of the original 8 tank inhabitants.

Your still doing a wonderful job and they lived a good happy life with you!

Speaking of cats, our precious princess cat was the chief pet in our home until the fish moved in. She gets really jealous when we pay attention to the fish and not her. We told her she could be our Pacu Kitten. Here's the first clip. You can hear Pacu Kitten screaming her head off for attention. She's absolutely heartbroken that the fish have our attention and not her.


My husband holds her out with one hand under her chest and rocks her, walking back and forth in front of the tank. He says, "Pacu Kitten goes swim swim swim, Pacu Kitten goes swim swim swim". There is a parade inside and outside the tank as the pacu follow along, back and forth, following their Dad with their cat sister. I'm going to have to video that sometime. Here's Pacu Kitten cooling off by swimming back to the boat:

awww...shes cute. my mom has a couple persians and himalayans. it's funny...we have a bengal cat that has no interest in our fish whatsoever.

before anyone asks...i dont know what happened to her lip. she was like that since weve had her...im not sure if it will heal or not.



if you listen carefully you can here her chewing...then the cat ruins it. lol!

That's really cute. I love how she's able to move it around in her mouth. She's pretty clever to use the side of the tank to get her food in the right position.

We have an acrylic tank that now has a couple of 1 1/2 inch scratches on the inside. The scratches could only have been done by pacu teeth. I have no idea how they did it--unless they ran into the wall and scraped their teeth against the acrylic.... I've never seen them use the wall to eat their food. My boys are probably not as clever as your Momo!

haha! she is very clever. im not sure were she came up w/ the idea, but it seems to work for her. btw...we named her mowgli when we got her, but in short we just call her our little momo. compliments of my girlfriend. ;)
 
Nice video, Demjor. A pacu eating a carrot is one of those things that never fails to make me chuckle.

Pacu mom, nice pacus. Nice tank, too. I can't wait to move out of my apartment so I can build my pacus a tank with all the runway they can handle.:D

Delight, awesome shoal! I would love to see pics of the 400. It's gotta be a sight to see!

Liz is great! She helped me out with mine, too. Liz, I can't thank you enough.
