Rad,
Interesting post...those Pacus really grow. The fish pictured looks exactly like the small red Pacu I have now in a micro pond.
Is the Pacu going to become the next Tilapia? I doubt it, but the fish has some great potential as a better grass carp. The fact it dies in the fall due to low water temps is a plus in my mind. If they could help pond owners eliminate the need for chemical weed control and not have the negatives of grass carp, then this may indeed become an option in the future.
Nova pond will have Pacu's next spring as part of an experiment to determine their utility as a replacement grass carp. Rad, I'm sure interested in anything you observe relative to these fish. Thanks.
