On the subject of Pacus,

I discussed them with Dr. Masser of Texas A&M and he did not know of anyone in Texas who has tried them in the manner I suggested. By that I mean, using Pacus just like Tilapia. He did express interest in following any such "experiment".

I think I will try a little "experiment" with them. I'm interested to see if they perform better than grass carp and with a winter die-off, they will be completely controllable in my ponds.

Don & Rad...I would sure appreciate hearing from you guys on any more info you can provide on Pacus....or snyone else that has knowledge of them

I am setting up an "arrangement" with a local fish store to provide a good home to all those Pacus that have outgrown their home aquariums. Let's see what the Pacu does to bushypond weed in East Texas....

p.s. TP&W has okayed this "experiemnt"
