my pacus and iri sharks

[chefjamesscott]

hello all i thought i should take this over to mfk since these will be my monsters

here are a few shots of my 180g excuse the water streaks i had jsut done a remodel of the tank and got water all over the outside

the sharks i got ownership of from a dude who sold me a 55g set up and asked if i had room for 3 6 inch catfish only to find these in the bucket when i went to pick up the tank

and the pacus i rehomed for people who had them in a 55g and a 33g and since i had a 180g i thought they would do okay over the winter

if i can get the plans passed by the city of regina which should be no different that doing a pool im gonna build an indoor pond that is 17 feet long and 10 feet wide and 6 feet deep and ill put a green house space over top of it an attach it to the garage we gonna build in the spring that way these fish will have a place of ample space as a back up ive lined up a 300g never used tank from a breeder 3 hours from here

i will make sure to post pics of the plans an progress

Nice pacu's-
They certainly have some potential of being some real lookers....

What kind of diet you got going for them?

first i want to say thank you so much for all the nice compliments so nice to not have a keeper of the 10g betta rail on my for havin pacu an iri sharks that ive rehomed in a 180g times that just made me want to go

i try to vary their diet i feed algae tabs , massivourous delight , sinking shrimp pellets and fresh veggies

now here is a story that you mfk will appreciate i believe in 2 of my other tanks i have male zebra who are being real bad arses the one who killed my christyi and a juvi who is now growing up they been acting so bad that im about ready to give them a swim in a quat sanitizer solution quick an easy death but i decide to go one better i throw them both into the 180

and here is the juvi so freaked out that he would not move for three days

he was looking so freaked out

in the end of it after a week both of them realized they could swim an not get eaten but they sure are watchin themselves
