Pacu Fish Needs Home!

[Piranha01]

Hi! I recently bought a Pacu from Petsmart. The lady told me wrong and said it was a Vegetarian Piranha and it only needs a 20G tank. All i have is a 20G tank so it needs a good home. If you are intrested please leave a comment thanks!


Here is a picture for now. Once i get home i will post better one's.

Good luck with it.
Pacu are one of, if not the hardest fish to rehome.

How long ago did you buy it? I would personally argue and get them to return it... They told you wrong info, it shouldn't be your burden to deal with.

Yell at them! Good luck.

I agree that you should attempt to return this fish. However, you need to accept responsibility here, as well. Why buy a fish without knowing ANYTHING about it? The first thing you learn about a Pacu is their (enormous) adult size. Personally, I've got three of these guys I've taken in after they've outgrown their tanks, and I love them. But, I get frustrated at folks that take responsibility for a life, and then afterward, when they find out how large they grow, hold up their hands as if they can't do anything and the pet store is at fault.

You are a human. The fish is a fish. The store is trying to sell you something, because that's how it makes its money. Have some sense, and do some research.

I've got some oceanfront property in Arizona...
