Hello all, I am building a massive hydroponics system and we are wanting to use Pacu fish for the system. We have the facility to hold and raise them even at full grown size. We are talking thousands of gallons. We are having trouble finding an online vendor as we have virtually no fish stores in Utah and the few that we have won't sell them for their size. Any help on where to order them and some tips and tricks for getting them to breed will be greatly appreciated all help is welcome. Thank you!

I think if you explain your reason and your system to your local LFS, they should be happy to special order you however many pacu you like.
I am not aware of natural breeding in captivity.

They do not breed naturally in captivity. They require a lot of assistance with injections of pituitary extract--the females get injected twice and the males once. The eggs and sperm are stripped from the females and males.
Here's an articled of how it's done. A quick online search will turn up more articles.
