Red Pacu

[fry_lover]

I have ended up with a Red Pacu, is about 1.5" (one and a half inch) so just a baby, currently in my 48x20x24 67 gallon.

Any point in thinking i can keep this fish and if so for how long?

I think i will start to "ask" around for a more suitable longer term home before it becomes difficult to move it on?

Any advice?

I am in London, UK

EDIT: according to my google research this is the "smallest" Pacu, although "small" seems a bit of a stretch lol, i have heard anything between 20-36" big?

You heard correctly and have read correctly. Pacu are known to get up to 3 feet. So as you can only begin to imagine that would be quite a large tank needed for such a fish.
