:p: I just bought this 55 gal about a week ago and it came with 2 Blood Parrot's and 2 Pacu. Here are a few pics of them just after I set up the aquarium. I know my tank is a little plain right now but this week sometime I am going to buy some new decor and I want to try the pool filter sand I heard about. The Pacu are now gone out of the tank. My local pet store in Commerce took them in for me to try and find them better homes.
The biggest Pacu gave me a big splash in the face just before he left.. lol. roflmao So, I guess that was his way of saying goodbye.

Anyway, so I ordered 7 new Cichlids that should be here in a week or so from my pet store. I cant wait to get them! Now I just need a Pleco...
( oh and SORRY about the spots on glass.. I have more work to do on the tank I know.. )

Nice tank! If you could only see the spots on my tanks, you wouldn't be apologizing for yours! Good to know you found a local fish store(LFS) to take the Pacu. Did you get a test kit?

Well, when I went in to look at some she only had 2 and she wanted $12 dollars for each one. So.. she said if order a bunch then she would discount the cost to $3 each. She said she is going to order a "variety" so not sure yet. lol..

Hmm, I would worry about what she may order. Make sure every one of them can get along. How long has your tank water been cycling? I don't want you to get more new fish and have them die on you.

Yea, I dont either. It was up and running when I bought it from this guy. He just drained all the water out and when I got it home I filled it back up and put in the required drops for the water and its been running now for 7 days today.
