I suspect their eventual size might be a factor(huge), but in my case, with cold weather coming in the future, these fish won't get much over 6 pounds, I don't think.
I'll find out next year. I stocked my pacu a little late this year, but next year I'll stock at ~70F. I thing 6 Lbs is entirely possible given the usual warm water from early May-early October here. They seem to respond to "over feeding" with extremely rapid growth.
Still no sign of plant consumption, but my water is muddy, and plants are scarce.
