We figured it fell into the gravel, and it's such a large area that we couldn't see it with a flashlight. But we will be on the lookout. I'll just shine a light on each of them and make sure nothing's stuck.
best of luck.. keep us posted

Wow! And I thought pacus had little in the way of teeth.

Better think again ,my friend!
These teeth can snap your finger off in a single bite!:headbang2:headbang2:headbang2

LOL yes. I've never considered them candidates for hand-feeding, that's for sure!
 
i use to hear them crunching up the carrots i gave them.. they love to use those teeth..
 
another valuable pacu lesson learned :)

they will chew on anything and everything in their path. i even have teeth marks on the strainer and handle of my pond pump.

theres literally no limit to what these guys will try to eat.
 
my Pacu loves to crunch things.... he also love to play ball with a ping pong ball!! for now it is still to big for his mouth but I am amazed at what he can try to eat! WHOLE! we go through heater's at least once a year so far and he is almost 3!!
 
only 3??

ive gone through atleast a dozen in the past 4-5 years with my pacu, and been shocked another half dozen more from broken heaters or chewed pumps in their tank/pond.

it becomes sort of a quirk to owning pacu :D
