lol, i almost caught the MTS virus. i was flipping through buysell, and some lady has a 80g for only $100. i called a first time, no answer.

i called 5 minutes later, and she answered, and i was ready to buy it. she said someones holding it until friday and if its not sold then, i can get it. im sure the person will buy it, and i figured i dont need it for a few reasons-

a) i have the 55g reef to finish
b) i have no stand for a 80g

if i DID get it though, i would move my oscar and pacu. later on though the oscar and pacu are getting a 150g though. after that, the mall here will take my pacu when he outgrows the 150g and put it in their 500g

yeah......thats a good idea....lol.

a pacu will out grow a 150g tank???

what is the min. tank requirement for a pacu???

**cocoa_pleco** · 11-27-2007, 03:02 AM

a fullgrown pacu needs about a 500-600g. they get HUGE. thats why i wish places like petsmart would quit selling them

when theyre young, they like to school, but as adults theyre loners

Pacu's can reach like 3 ft. I believe.

**squirt_12** · 11-27-2007, 03:03 AM

HOLLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That is HUGE.......so thats a good thing that the mall (i am guessing west Edmonton??) has a big tank that they will put it in.

west edmonton mall has many tanks. they have a GINOURMOUS octopus and shark tank (great white shark i think), a few 300g reefs, and i think they still have a 250g FW. they also have some anemone tide pools and a sea lion pool thats probably 20000g

if you take the submarine (ive gone a few time) they have 1000g reefs that you can see out of the window and theyre awesome

they also have flamingos
