Thankyou this was very informative. I have taken just taking it back into strong consideration.

Yes, I've never seen Pacu being sold at Petco but I did go to another fish store and asked a Pacu breeder

I can't argue with that I'm not gonna tell you otherwise but I've asked someone who breeds pacus and he's never had any die or have any problems, he's the one that gave me the idea to put them in bigger tanks as they grow, and he said my setup is perfect as long as I feed them well and keep up...

Well damn. Don't have enough room for that many, future wise. Anything other than Pacu that are also aggressive that you can recommend? I don't want Oscars or Cichlids I have about 15 years of experience with them and wanted to spice it up a bit.

Probably not, I've researched it a lot and I've asked Pacu breeders as well as friends of mine that have been in the aggressive fish business for over 20 years, etc. and I completely understand that red belly Pacu's can get up to 4 feet long, and I am prepared for his re-tanking along the way as...

Well I have a 800 and 2200 gallon tank but they are currently occupied and with the size of the Pacu at the moment, it would be eaten in an instant so I wanted to let it grow with my tanks and gradually give it more time to develop.

I know all of this and I have lots of more way bigger tanks going up to 2200 gal, but he would be eaten in a second if I put him in the big tanks so I want him to just grow with my tanks until he's ready to go with others. I don't have a testing kit for myself yet but I ran to a local fish store...

I am getting a 3-4 inch Pacu tomorrow and I will be putting it in a 10 gallon with 2 other Firemouth Cichlids (small) and yes I know I need a way bigger tank but for now I will keep it in a 10 gallon until it gets about 6 inches then into my 20 gallon, but what other small fish or snails do you...
