Pacu eats grapes!

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Thank you i will try tonight to feed them little pieces of carrots, do you peel off skin to make sure there are no pestisides on it.. or do you buy organic? When you can post some pictures of your pacu's..with their red bellies.. and thanks again.

mine like them raw in little chunks so they can chew on them a bit.

Wow tonight my pacus had carrots for the first time, they loved them..so now i will add a little to their diet every night when i feed.. I will slowly try the other things too, thanks!
 
Wow, the grape thread is dragging out! Lol. I thought I would try carrots, but haven't yet. Thanks for the tip. Mine also recently has liked green beans.

either or is fine

blanch (lgihtly boil) them first though, this goes for any hard vegatable or tough fiber leafy green as well.

pacu's have a inefficient digestive system and he might **** it out whole.

mine eats mint flavoured pea's, beef heart , shrimp, and corn

corn too.. wow... they are in for a whole new crusine.. slowly of course. I don't want them to get too excited ..these tank busters..lol
 
Also as treats I give them crayfish tail meat that I get at Super Wal-Mart where they keep the shrimp. They go ape-schnit over them. Its pure tail meat and the frozen pack is as big as a large pack or frozen fish food. It cost about $4. At least in florida it does. Wouldn't see it being different anywhere else since it is at Wally world.

I wouldn't say vegetarian, mine will eat just about anything. Like Rosie O'Donell.
