Don't tinfoils and Pacus get absolutely massive?

 

[Miss Wiggle]

yeah you need to re-home the pacu's

here's a pic to show you how big they get

you'll need a seriously big tank to keep these, a 4foot tank wont do it i'm afraid

they get to around 1 metre long so minimum tank size would be 4 metres x 2 metres x 2 metres and even that would be tight for them

tinfoil barbs also get large but not quite that big http/www.thetropicaltank.co.uk/Fishindx/tinfoil.htm they get to around 14" long.

silver sharks get to around the same size http/www.thetropicaltank.co.uk/Fishindx/silver.htm

goldfish are not tropical fish and shouldn't be kept together with them, they also get to around a foot long

realistically the only of these fish you can offer a proper home to is the tiger barbs. i recommend you take the rest back to the fish shop and exchange them for some more suitable fish. have a read of the link in my sig 'how to work out stocking lists' which should tell you how to research and work out which fish are suitable for your tank.

Theres a reply from me in the emergency post you made.....
Your set up is bad news...

i thought pacu grew quite big, i think your tank could be too small for them.

i dont no much abut pacu, but with in a yr i will get some wat large tank ( about 4 feet)

For any newbies to the hobby, this is why researching ANY fish before you buy is so important.

Just another example of how HUGE pacu get: A lady on another forum kept her Pacu in a 3,200 gallon tank. It lived to be something like 27.5 years old, and weighed ~40 lbs.
