pacu fish

I had one years ago, they really do fail to mention just how big that $4 fish will get. It grew to 16" in a 55 gallon tank in about a year.

Bend, you really don't want one.  It's a sin they are allowed to sell them.  They grow HUGE in a short period of time, tend to get "hole in the head" as they are pretty messy eaters and water quality is an issue in keeping them.  I see them OFTEN at different LFS's, always way big, dropped off because they out grew a tank. I think Aquatic Obsession has one in their show tank.  I cringe when ever I see one in an aquarium. Just my 2cents, which isn't even worth that......

:( the one at AO has such a personality... makes me want one. I definitely wouldn't get one until I have the space for a huge tank...
