Giant Pacu needs home near CT. (surprise) - Page 2 - Aquarium Advice

rhetor · 12-27-2006, 02:21 PM

The place we got him would probably have taken him, but they shut down last year.

The Life Gallery in Fairfield CT. That place was SWEET.

The Fish will be a success story somehow. I'm just not sure how yet.

How much would it be to airmail a big fish? hehe

A guy from Monsterfishkeepers.com is coming tomorrow to take him!

Farewell big fish!

oh good, i am very glad somoone with the right requirements will take him. I'm sure he will be missed.

glad to hear he found a good home

That is fantastic-I'm so happy for everybody.

Now, rhetor, your job is to work toward legislation to have pacu (pacus?) made illegal to sell in the US. This is your mission.

Thats a shame. But, I'm happy that fish got a good home. He looks like hes got some real personality!

Good job. now, never do that again. <wet noodle slap>

I'm glad the pacu got a better home. As a side note, I wonder if the local zoo would take in large fish? Do you get visitation rights at his/her new digs?

theotheragentm · 12-29-2006, 02:01 PM

Glad things worked out. Now begins the withdrawal.

I will miss him, but getting a chance to actually landscape a 125g is AWESOME!

So many possiblities now!

A guy named Glenn came and picked him up, we both got soaking wet, but the fish seems to be happy. I'll have to check in on him in a few days to see how he is.

My Jag and JD feel liberated now too. Its weird how a massive Pacu can force two incredibly aggressive and intollerant fish to be best friends.
