my 11" red belly pacu

We need to do somthing about all the careless people with pacus in 55s and anything under 500 gal for that matter. like a big sign by their name that reads I HAVE A FISH IN A TANK THAT WILL BE BIGGER THAN THE TANK. pacus have no place in private aquariums as far as im concerned. with the exception of people who can properly house one FOR LIFE!
great i looked at his sig and he has some serious tankbusters. i pray to god he is planning a pond or somthing in the 1000gal range.
at this moment i think ultimatejay is the only person with a tank large enough to hold one for life.
and thats the minimum to be honest
In a 55? In a few years that RTC wn't even FIT in that 55.
some guy on this website has a 50,000 gallon tank im going to give the pacu to somebody dont know who yet
and a simalar fate for all the other fish on your sig right? (minus discus)
that is a crummy way to keep fish in my opinion

zoo, i know you got a lot of people telling you that you are dumb, just remember the pond idea that i told you about! you can do it, and with minimal cost to you! It probably cost you more money to set up each of the 6 tanks than it costs to make your own pond big enough imo for him! Start checkiing out the indoor pond section to get some ideas you will be amazed at what you can do for very little money! I got my pacu in a 30 gal right now, but soon he will move to 100 gal pond, and then to 350 gal pond, then 750 gal pond, and who knows eventually! Just keep your fish' best interests at heart and get started on that first pond! that thing is gonna give you the time and money you need to make a bigger one! To everyone else I think most of us were in his shoes at one time or another. Anyone in here can properly house almost any freshwater fish they want to with very little expense comparitively if they get innovative and put their minds to it! So judge less and help more!
