First let me say hi to all the members. This is my first time on this forum. About me, I currently live in Michigan. I have a 55 gal tank right now with 2 pacu, 2 bala shark, and 2 plecostomus. I bought my pacus last march, they were about the size of a half dollar. Now they are about a foot in length. I am buying a 135 gal tank next week, since my pacus have definitely outgrown the 55 gal. The 135 gal that I am buying is roughly 6 foot long, not sure how wide, but definitely more than 2 ft, and about 3-4 feet high. I saw a 220 gal at the store I was in today, but definitely cannot afford the 1800 price tag for the tank and stand, so I'm just going with the 135 (760 for stand and tank) + lights, heaters and filters additional. Before anyone jumps on my case about not knowing what I am doing with pacus or what I am getting myself into, suggest what I should do instead of criticizing. I am open to all suggestions in order to give my fish a nice long life. Hope all of you have a great day. And I'm trying to post some pics up too.
