^^It's got gorgeous red on him!

Yeah his colors really started to develop after 3" or so, I am very pleased :grinno:
 
I have 4 red belly pacus. They are hard to get pics of because they are in a 300 rubbermaid. They are way too big to take out and photo. lol There is some older pics in my albums in my profile of the two bigger ones, though when they were in a 220.
 
here is a link to an album dedicated to my rb pacu. he is 7 inches currently and is 1/4 inch thick. i am giving him away to a lady who had a rb pacu who was over 2 feet long that recently died. i hope to eventually try the rb pacu again, or even the b pacu. here he is, i got him as a 2 inch long 1/16 inch thick baby. he is my secong impulse buy since i started keeping fish...http://www.monsterfishkeepers.com/forums/album.php?albumid=4215
they are stunning fish, mine used to mouth fight with a jack dempsey, they both ended up messing up their noses... ya'll have some sweet pacus...
 
your welcome. lets see some pix of your pacu diskboy12...is it in the same tank as the rtc and rtc x tsn and channel? if so i would look out. mine tries to eat the barbels off of my bristlenose pleco, and he tried to eat the whiskers off of my pictus when i had them...

what do you feed?

I try to mix it up, but for the first few months it was tropical flakes, bloodworms, brine shrimp, and veggies (loves broccoli!). I have now incorporated pellets of various types and his favorite is Algae Flakes that were for the pleco, but he will swim up and take them from my hand:grinno:
I am trying to get all the fish on a primary diet of pellets because now that they are bigger they are eating a lot!
