Looking good George, what size is the new tank?

thanks.

48x15x17

Also, any long term plans for the pacu?

didnt know how fast a pacu can grow. he looks bigger every day. and that thing can eat, and eats anything!!

my plans are:
1) get a bigger tank
2) get a fiberglass tank for the back yard
3) throw him in my friends pond
4) give him away
5) eat him?

there's actually 4 in there all over 22" and a tsn and a couple of plecos

cant imagine your feeding bill

Back in post number 2030's or so he was so sweet looking...now he is approx 9" and a good 1/2" thick...
Pork Chop Hanibal is still Rockin'!!

Here is a shot of his dental work...

PCH is the other EEGG that Yanbbrox was refering to?

Sorry to hear, hope you get yourself sorted soon


I was wondering where PCH had got to, I was going to wait and see if he popped up in the deuce deuce five

Yeah he made the transition to the grow out tank successfully, and he can hold his own there with all the hazzards of his neighborhood...Big Cats, 3 Aros GT and an RTC that woke up and is ALWAYS hungry...he'll be fine in the community I do believe, with all the room he'll have...If he gets to being a bastard and starts to cause unrest, He'll be back in grow-outville...

and for size refference that is one of my 16-17" Silvers


He hits the tape measure at:♠ 9" long x 6" tall x .50 - .75" wide

Thankx Bro,
He is generally bull-ish, and will stand his ground most of the time, Even when he's getting his ass handed to him, he still has an attitude and doesn't run off...
He firmly believes in "no Cuts" in the food line...when it's his bite, He wants his shot at it...With all the other mouths that are huge compaired to his he does a good job of ripping prawns to shreds and getting his belly full...

Doing better than Georgina then, she's a pain, I said at the time I have no idea why we got her. Even in grow out she's starting to get too big, at this rate she'll have to meet fatty and bumbum in the middle tank, sooner than expected, then next stop she'll finally meet George.

Considering that fatty and Georgina stare each other out across the room, it could end in carnage, at least it will give bumbum a rest

It's terrible when we have to hope for the lesser of two evils...
