the 10" max size must be what all places think i was at walmart last night they had 4 for sale and the specs card said they get only 10" . i asked the girl she was like thats what it says i just laughed i got 4 red belly's the size of plates .i wish we could put the pl that do this in a 10 gal to live dumb ppl.
Ok so I just came back from the LFS from buying Hikari Gold Pellats for my cichlids when I started asking about what fish could be housed in a 30 gallon long for life. One of the fish the guy suggested was a red belly pacu....................................
(I was dying inside) and calmly told him that they get over a foot in no time and he said no they grow to be about 10 inches in captivity.
Now IDK if the guy was just trying to sell me the Pacu or was mistaking it for a red belly piranha but it was funny none the less.
Yes, that guy must not know anything about pacu or he was just trying to make a sale. Wow. That was a good one. One of my pacus are around 15 inches and still growing. Awesome!
HA HA HAA!! Pacu at Walmart--saw them the other day---$6.99 with an info tag stating they CAN grow to 10"!!!!!!--3 1/2 foot monster. (slight exageration!!)!!! LoL!!!!! 10" in the first 5 months more like!!!!! LOL..
I wonder??? 30 gallon tank, 3 pacu, how long before tank is broken from pacu playing around????
