Appreciated greatly....
These fish are so underated in this hobby-----I wish more people had the means to properly take care of them...Truely a neat species to own.Very active and load of personalities.
Do you feed this fish nuts? I saw a documentary on the Amazon, and there was a segment on the Pacu. It was really cool to see them cracking the nuts and eating them. Is there any way to tell if it is a male or female?

I use to feed it nuts and veggies along with some fruit-But wasn't liking them too much-That lasted about 6 months-
He has been fed mainly a pellet diet for the first couple of years.And then he took a liking to Raw seafood and has been stuck on that ever since-He wont touch much of anything else any more.....

I have no clue on how to tell male or female...If I had to guess-This would be a male-I dont know why I think that either....
 
wow he looks like a very big boy, nice pics

Thanks-
He is roughly 24 to 26 inch long-4 inch wide(thick) and over a foot tall....
He is the biggest fish I have owned to date-

I would love to toss him on a scale for a rough estimate on weight....
 
wow that guy looks amazing! It makes me miss the huge one I had for a couple of days (came with a tank I bought), this one may rival that one in size though! Amazing pics of an awesome fish, thanks for sharing!

Yeah-
One of the nicest ones around-But certainly not the biggest-There are plenty of bigger ones on this site then mine....


Thanks for enjoying them...It's appreciated
