Depends on the fish it's self-

I keep mine with a freddy,
dovii,severums,Silver aro,Jardini.....Mine will tolerate ne thing-As long as it stays out of his space though..

What is the size of your tank?

What is the size of your tank?

500 gal

My pacu is now around the 24 inch size-Maybe bigger...

Mine is in a 250, so I understand that I can not have as many fish.

An Arowana is a definite so far.

What else should/could I fit in there.

Before you go crazy with stocking-
I have to ask the famous ?-


What are you plans for long term-Cause as of right now-Both the silver and the pacu will out grow your tank....


But now with that said....It all depends on what kind of tank you are after...
Aggresive-Semi-,peaceful,predatory,community..Yadda,yadda,yadda....

pacu usually get along with anything(that wont fit in their mouth). but yeah the tank size may be a question.

 

[Vizux]

Is there anything else in your tank?

 

[akskirmish]

Right now all that is in my 500 is the following-
24 inch pacu
12 inch freddy
7 inch dovii
20 inch marble sailfin pleco
18 inch chocolate pleco
a few 16 inch common pleco
8 to 9 inch syndo
And my female midas at around the 7 to 8 inch mark...
