these pacu i bought recently so i need to put 3ft fish tank because i don't have place to put it.. that why i put in my 3ft fish tank

no i bought from the owner who trying to throw away

Do you have any experience keeping large fish and/or large aquariums? Better start doing lots of research.

If you do, you'll need it soon. In that tank, you'll probably have to do daily large water changes....maybe twice a day lol.

in that tank size your gonna need an external filter, possibly 2 to replace the internal filter. the internal doesnt have the capacity to deal with so much waste in such a small volume of water. also, unless you are awaiting their new massive home you may want to consider giving one or 2 or all of them away to someone who has the funds and means to support these potentially huge fishes. aquarist classifieds and here in the sales and wants will be great, offer them free to good home.
the main problem fish are the pacu. get rid of those and you buy yourself some time for getting a 4ft or 5ft tank for the oscar.

also 50% water changes every couple of days would help them alot.

Honestly JK, IMO that tank isn't even large enough for one full grown Oscar.

dont listen to them man. i had a pacu. i loved him. just do yourself a favor and give the pacu's away to a GOOD home till you can properly house one. If i had the money to get a 500 gallon tank to house one i would but i don't. i made the same mistake as you did too.
