Red belly Pacu breeding questions...

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Hey Liz, have you ever considered an indoor pond?...
 
I have kept pacu in a 650, until i felt like they were just swimming around in circles and started looking for a good home for them. I found someone who takes in unwanted fish or fish to big to kept in aquariums. They are kept in a hotel size pool, and make vists...
 
If I end up going that rout I will share pics...
BTW, MFR is doing the same thing on planetcatfish.com. Tons of pics and videos. It makes me want to do it more and more, plus it is pretty cheap considering. Less than 5K total.

i have an indoor pond for my gold fish that come in every winter.. i quess if i did not have so many tanks already going :nilly: it would be an option.. :D
 
BTW, that's terrible that that happened to your tank. Any other losses? Was it repaired at all?

Is your pond a hard plastic one or vinyl?
 
On planetcatfish there is also a guy attempting to build a 80,000 gallon pond. I have a few acres of ponds myself, but none concrete..

here are a couple of pics..we had a 600gal on order which we cancelled ... this one we lost was a brand new tank.240gal total distruction of it but remarkably no one else sufferered any loss.. and even the little cichlid in with the pacu lives on now.. we rescued him last too... he was under glass and everything.. in smoke filled room... when the tank exploded it put out the fire..only good thing.....
