Pacu eating crayfish?

[rhetor]

Is it common for pacus to feed on crayfish? I bought a blue crayfish, and after it nipped my pacu in the face, it was gobbled up.

There is a larger blue crawdad in the lfs, he's about 4", the one that got eaten was about 2.5"

They are pretty expensive so i don't want to risk the 20 bucks to see if my pacu wants another expensive meal.


Anyone have experience with crayfish and pacus?

I wouldn't risk it. Crayfish are really only good for a species tank, and mixing them with any fish is a disaster waiting to happen.
