i might be getting a 135 gallon tank and will be putting my oscar and pacu in it. i was wonder what i could put in that tank with the oscar and pacu that the oscar or pacu won't go and eat.

and after that i will be putting my 2 JD's and 2 common plec's in the old 55 gal tank. i would like to know what i could stock in this tank to make it less empty. any suggestions?
 
The tanks size will not be big enough for your Pacu for life, the problem with them is they get truly massive!

From what I've read they need a 250g tanks size minimum....
But I have no experience keeping them so I'm sure someone will come along and give you more info!
 
thank you. hes 12" now so im in a hurry to upgrade at any cost, until he gets to large for me to house appropriatly. but i think 135 gal tank is a huge upgrade from a 55 gal
 
does any one think there is anything i can put in with my oscar and pacu? i wish i could find a place to house th pacu but i have to do with what i got. my jack dmepseys will be housed in the 55 gal with 1 albino common pleco. i want to house some more fish with the JDs but have no clue what fish i can house with them, be it cichlids and or tropics.
 
i have 2 large peacock bass and a large knife fish and a large pleco in my 135gal with my pacu. they all seem to get along alright
 
i don't know about the bass, but would the knife get along with the oscar? i have always like knifes.
 
I HAD JUST DONATED MY 6 YR OLD PACU TO PETSTORE... HE WAS ABOUT 2' LONG.. VERY HEALTHY BUT LIVE IN MY 75G FOR DAT LONG...I THINK 135 SHOULD BE BIG ENOUGH BUT U CAN'T REALLY HAVE ORNAMENTS... GOOD LUCK..
 
i was going to put sand in and maybe a sizable piece of drift wood in the middle, just a thought for now

You kept a 2 ft Pacu in a 4 ft 75g tank?
