What do I feed these pacu!

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Right now my pacu's about 13 inches and he eats anything. Cichlid staple, pond pellets, koi pellets, hikari, cichlid gold, carrots, grapes, cat/dog food, and especially loves nuts.
 
when i had my beautiful pacu ... for 8 years.. until an accident took their life.. i fed them ..raw pieces of carrots, small pieces of bananas.. grapes... zucchini slices..{loved them} algae wafers and cichlid pellets..
 
they are my favorite fish i have ever owned...so much personality.. gentle giants..

Totally agree. I love them. I keep wanting to "save them" and have actually came up with a "not for profit" idea to collect the "unwanted/grown". I have an idea to build a 2k pond under my house in a cellar room but can't afford it atm. But in all honesty they have to be my favorites. (except when you turn on a light and they bolt/ turn and throw a wave of water out of their aquarium lol):hitting:
