pacu schooling

[IKeepPacu]

im planning on adding a black pacu, and if i cna find them some other species of pacu eventually to my pond. and of coarse it will be upgraded to an even larger pool once i finally move

i know my reds are constantly together and have formed their own little school with my oscar, and are always together. once i go to add the new pacu's, chances are they will all form one big group, despite being all different species, correct?

considering my oscar is half their size, and looks nothing like them, i would think so. but wanna hear other opinions.....

My best guess would be yes. I have three different kinds of Silver Dollars in my 125 and all 10 fish school together. So I don't think they'd care what color their bellies are, just as my SDs don't care if one guy's got stripes and another has spots.

TK keeps 3 in his huge pond, and public aquariums seem to have heaps in their tanks without hassle so i'd say so.

Black Pacu's are great,i love them,but remember they grow faster and are a bit more nastier than the reds.
