MONSTERS IN A TANK

[JohnnyK]

hi guys...
do you tink a pacu, 2 albino oscars, 1 red-tailed cat, 1 ornate bichir and a silver arowana will make good tank mates for each other ?
and how big a tank do u suppose i require ?
and can i feed them the same things ? except teh pacu, whom i heard is a strict vegan!!!!
kindly respond and help.. thnx MFKs...

pacu being strict vegaterians is not always true i know pacu that eat herring

the rtc will eat the bicher, then the oscars, and then maybe the aro.

How big a tank can you afford?

 

[JohnnyK]

6 ft tank

A medium rtc?! It's going to get huge no matter how big it is when you buy it.

I have a 8'x2'x2' 240gal tank and that's not even big enough for all those fish. Pacu alone need several hundred gallons. RTC's get 3' long and need plenty of room to turn around.

^ Nah man 3ft is still considered a young rtc, I've seen em hit over 4-5" and almost 7" in zoos/aquariums. I'd lose the RTC and pacu and you'd be good with the 6'er for awhile. If you want a really nice cat that stays around 2ft get a tigrinus.

Good neighbors, but in a few thousand gallons.
