I have a 110 galon with about 150 guppies and i was thinking of putting a pacu in would it eat all the guppies or would it be fine.

first a Pacu will out grow the 110 in a blink of the eye, then what are you gonna do?
second if you were a pacu in a tank full of food wouldnt you eat it all?

Kobeclone;1643424; said:Pacu are naturally mainly herbivores, but they will be omnivorous if forced to...
They eat fruits and plant matter in the Amazon, but if this is not available, then, and only then, will they forced to be omnivorous....
That means if you feed the pacu enough fruits and veggies, then it will not be interested in the guppies...
Pacus are only carnivorous when their owners train them to be.
On a side note, the pacu will outgrow that tank in a year, maybe less.....

however as already stated, the pacu will quickly outgrow your tanjk. fed right, and in good water, pacu should grow to OVER TWELVE INCHES long, a good 6-7" tall and easily 1" thick. it may or may not sound like much, but trust me, their true monsters. you will need a larger tank. i have an 8x3 tank, and its still to small for 2 pacu.
