My Pacu is a bit of an oddball in that he refuses to eat any live or dead fish. He'll eat anything else you put in the tank, but nothing alive.
So we have a couple other tank mates for him, a pleco, Jack Dempsey, couple guppies, 2 tricolors, an angel...
We also got a very pretty looking blue crayfish.
Now of course Mr Pacu only likes to dine on the expensive ones.
The cray fish was great to watch. Untill the Pacu got curious. Well mr. pacu stuck his nose a bit too close to check him out and got nipped in the face. Of course he got scared and swam away, but once he reached the other end of the tank he turned around, came back and bit off the crayfish's claws! He also ripped half his head off. Well, the cray fish was still squirming a bit so we removed him from the tank to see if he would revive. Shortly after he died so instead of throwing him out, we tossed him in the tank and the Pacu gladly crunched him down.
ARG! The Crayfish was really a ball to watch! Next time i'm dropping a New England 10lb lobster in the tank. We'll see who wins then!
