3 Pacu fish

[Mollylover32804]

Bought a fish tank and these 3 fish came with it, they were in a 55 and have outgrown this tank. They need a new home asap. They are about 9.5" now and will grow up to 24" to 30". Need good home. Please read below. We need someone who will take GOOD care of these fish.

Info on these fish if anyone hasn't heard of them.
Pacu (IPA: [paˈku]) is a common name used to refer to several species of South American freshwater fish that are closely related to the piranha. They are mainly herbivores, but will also eat small fish, insects, and meat on fishing lures[ (see omnivorous). Their teeth, which may resemble human teeth, are used to cut through vegetation and crush seeds that fall into the water. Pacu and piranha are distinguished from each other by their teeth and jaw alignments; piranha have pointed, razor-sharp teeth in a pronounced underbite, whereas pacu have square, straight teeth in a less severe underbite, or a slight overbite.Additionally, full-grown pacu are much larger than piranha.

Yeah I know we went to buy a 55 gallon from some lady and she's like fish goes with tank well a 55 with stand for 50 bucks we took it but when I really saw how big the fish was, how dirty the tank was, she had the tank on the back porch. I told my husband thats sad someone would do that to those fish. There's beautiful fish, but damn if they do reach 24-30 inches, they will be longer than my jack russell LOL. She has 3 big tank breakers in this tank. We called around to local mom and pop store and I think we found one that will tank them but there so big that my husband had to wrap a towel around them to lift them out of tank to put in large cooler transport them. I need to get pics to you'll see what this crazy woman did. Some people make me so mad sometimes.

You should build a pond in your basement.
You could post over at MFK Monster Fish Keepers because alot of people have pounds that houses Tropicals esp. TSN, RTCS , Chanels, and TSNxRTC.
