hi there, ive raised red bellies for a while now ,and ive found that they enjoy nothing more than erd and green pepper chunks, they dont go for yellows for some reason, do they see in colour? i dunno, but ne how, enjoy them build a 1000 gal pond
red pacus can be one of the best fish you ever owned but you need a huge tank right now i have a red pacu 14" blue geromie 5-6" and mosaic gar 6-7" in a 30 gallon but building a 180 gallon tank now for them. but be careful my pacu ate 10"green texas and 8" oscar 14"pleco in about a week but never touch or chased the blue goramie. so get a big tank and sit back and watch these monsters go to work on feeder fish
