Who has the largest Pacu?

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
I was in Vegas and was at shark reef at mandalay bay and bam they have a huge freshwater setup with some other really cool amazon fish and they have a 3 foot Pacu in there!
 
well i quess the Pacu had enough .. maybe ..but every fish is different.. Did the Oscar recover... I know just the sheer weight and force of a pacu can be something to reckon with.. i am always afraid they will break the glass of the 220 gal tank they are in... and that would be a definite disaster........
 
Thanks for the kind words mrs...-I keep my guy with a wide variety of fish,big and small!!!!!This guy is perfect in everyway!!!!!!!!!He even hand feeds now!!!!!
what large fish do you have in with your pacu?
 
wow what a smile for the camera..so sweet!!!:D
 
My beast is currently ~14". I designed my whole tank around him (decor, tankmates, width of tank etc).
