pacu to keep or not to keep

[firehawk135]

Hello all yo u Monster keepers,
My 29gal is full just three fish!!!!! Those two cute Oscars are now 6" and the
Red Belly Pacu 8" all were bought at <2"before any research
My neighbor only two doors away has an 120gal. long type tank empty and willing to give me
Question 1 : Do you think the Pacu will stop his aggressive behavior? No fin nips
just being bully to the Oscars.
Question 2 : How do ya"ll move these fish especially when they get bigger?

It is really upsetting that you are keeping two Oscars and a Pacu of that size in a 29 gallon tank. 120 gallon should be perfect for your Oscars and no way near enough for a Pacu.

As far as moving them goes, I usually just get them with a big net. Had to move a 2+ foot fish once, I grabbed a garbage back, stuck it in the tank, and caught him with a garbage back.

Hello and welcome. Now that I've had some experience with Pacus I would recomend you put the Oscars in the new big tank ASAP and either eat or find a new home for your pacu as it will quickly outgrow the 120.
I say ASAP before it does something bad
