Welcome to the site....
That sure is a well stocked tank. You know at some point a few of those fish will out grow it?
Good luck.

I can't really explain how to post pics (I'm sure someone will)
Once you get it figured out, you gotta post pics of your pond! We were just talking about ponds the other day.

If you hit "post reply" that takes you to the advanced posting page. Then scroll down about half way down the page where it says "manage attachements" it is a clickable button. A new window will open then you will hit the "browse" button. You then find the picture on your computer, you can load 5 at a time I believe. When you are done finding the files in that window make sure you hit the "upload" button. Then you can close that window, post what you want to say in the main reply window and it will attach the pictures to your post.
If you need more help let me know and I'll show you...:)

OK, look at the text box down below. At the top of it there are several buttons, click on the button that shows a "Picture" of mountains. A window will pop up and if you paste that photobucket address there, your pic will show up in your post.

Welcome to da 'box! I'm soooo glad to hear that someone knows Pacus will outgrow a tank in no time! I had a pacu and she was a very personable fish. Unfortunately, I didn't do my research and the guy at the store told me she wouldn't get much bigger than she was when I got her. They gave her to me and she was about 12" from nose to tail. When I rehomed her, she was pushing 16", and that was maybe six months later! The folks that took her were building a 500 gallon indoor pond, so I'm sure she's livin' it up!

Welcome to the site!
Those are some great looking fish! Very nicely colored.
What type of pond do you have (natural, man made, etc.). Very interesting.

Um it' s overground and plastic we are trying to move so we are going to wait but we want to build a big pond though.
