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!

I wonder??? 30 gallon tank, 3 pacu, how long before tank is broken from pacu playing around????

Walmart + pacu = a lot of craigslistings!!!!!!
