THIS PERSON HAS AN OUTGROWN FISH AND NEEDS A NEW HOME, ANYONE?? PM ME IF INTERESTED FOR CONTACT INFO



We had intended on purchasing a larger fish tank but it is financially out of the question right now, and we have a 7-8 inch Red Bellied Pacu who has outgrown our 40 gallon tank. Any attempts to introduce smaller fish quickly become the Pacu's midnight snack.

We want to find a good home and we are willing to give the Pacu away for free. Can you recommend someone?

Thank you,
Bob

Pacu...

WHY? WHY? WHY?

Hopefully they can find a home for it. Why are pet stores still allowed to sell these things? How many people can REALLY house a full grown Pacu? What a shame... Good luck, it's nice of you to try to help out..

I agree too big of a fish to be an aquarium kept fish! I hate seeing them in pet stores. People have no idea what their getting into when buying them! Cool fish though!

They use piranha teeth! I know that. Pacus are omnivors so idk if their teeth would work.

The episode of River Monsters with the Pacu was in New Guinie. The gov. had introduced them into the rivers there to give the people something to fish out of the river and eat. They figured that since it was an herbavor, it wouldn't be a prob. Thing is, Pacus normaly eat nuts that fall into the water. There teeth are made for crushing and grinding. Now the Red Bellied Pacu in New guinie is adapting to a carnivorouse diet due to the lack of nuts, at least the ones from trees - OUCHIES.
