The Big Fella

[-*-MicHAeL-*-]

He looks great but be careful with him banging on the tank as Pacu's have been known to smash the glass

Funny you should say that.. I had to replace a paine of condensation glass about two months ago after he tried jumping out and put a crack in it!

lol

What setup is he in and what are his tankmates? I think i can see an oscar in the background!

He's in a 7x2x2 i've got him in with 2 oscar's, arowana, red tailed catfish and a couple of pleco's. The only problem with him is he seems to love throwing the sand about..... great for him not so good for the filters!!

Cool any chance of some pics of the others and the tank?
