Pacu's arnt necesarily peaceful

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
lol ok,ok I give up .Ill just call her an osphronemus gourami from now on :p .I dont know enough about them, but since evryone everywhere i post her, says shes a regular giant gourami (except the breeder) I'll just go with the generic name .Itd be interesting to find out for sure tho, havent been able to come across any site that show pics or states that females have differnt coloration then the male red tails :confused:
 
yeah, I remember the first pacus I ever owned went into a tank w/ a large silver arrowana . caught them biting the pelvic fins off my aro. needlecc to say they went back to the lfs.
 
HAH! sorry for your loss brudah...this is my loss here.

I have a 12 inch Chinese perch, and 6 inch Fahaka with a 12" pacu. Because all this time, I thought this pacu is harmless. WELL BS, this pacu is a freak and it keeps tearing **** up in my tank. So it ended up killing my fahaka and the chinese perch. I'ma grill this sucka and squeeze some lemon and pepper on it, and have some shots of tequila...this fish is for a big pond....but now it's gonna be my beer food.
 
thanks for all the comments -and sorry to hear about all the others whove lost fish to pacus -i dont think id ever tell someone that pacus are cool fish lol. Btw this fish has grown at least an inch since I posted this topic,Heres a pic of the two friends (sorry the windows a little dirty)

LOL! Never had pacu before but this is incredible growing...

BTW, I have silver dollars that eat lot of earthworms and many of my small fishes.
And I was told that they are strictly herbivore when I bought them...
