sweet pacu!
what size is ur tank?

 

[DIGICORR]

long 30 right now. I know that long term that is too small but I'm trying NOT to encourage growth out of these guys right now. Want to wait till I have a 250+ to throw them in.

You fail. 300+ gallons

Ya, I know. I've been looking at some differant options. I don't live in a place with the type of climate I would need to house him outside.

You can't discourage grow! All you can do is harm the fish! This is their formative time.

How long before you can get a larger tank?
