New BP owner - I am chicken of the Sea!

its nothing to be embarassed about. We learn with time and grow out of our fears. Reminds me the time when i was scared of mollies, can you imagine, mollies!
But now i easily put my hand inside a pond with a massive pacu with teeth. He likes to be petted too!
i actually compliment you for doing your research before doing the unknown. A lot of people get themselves injured doing things they aren't fully aware of or have no knowlege of them. Keep up the good work

Thanks AR1 - LOL thanks for your admission on mollies, that made me smile. Not sure you could pay me to put my hand in a tank with a pacu but kudos to you for having that kind of relationship! So many people say “it’s just a fish” - you clearly take wet pets to a new level!!

i was very afraid at first and so was my pacu. Every time i would enter the room the pacu it would splash about a quarter of the pool's water at me, going nuts. That would nearly give me a heart attack, lol.It took about 6 months for me to get used to my pacu and for it to get used to me. Now we are inseparable!

Thanks a lot! i have this pacu for more than a year now and it has been growing like a weed, about 1.5 foot now. I would never ever abandon it!
Most people don't like pacus due to their dull coloration. However they are very intelligent fish with a lot of personality.

Here's one of my other parrots, Kong with her balls. She has soccer balls and shooter marbles too. Bangs them around every day.
