Bobad,
I guess this makes you and I members of RAD's Pacu club....or at least candidates for members.
If there is a faster growing freshwater fish anywhere, I'd be surprised. I used to think Tilapia were fast growing and they certainly are in comparison to most all of our common pond fish, but the Pacu is really something else, on an entirely different level. They have a great fight also....much like a Jack in saltwater.
It is curious to me as to why these fish aren't more often grown by comercial growers? They are reportedly great eating fish...and if they keep growing like this, I'll soon find out about eating them.
If you don't mind saying, Bobad, what's your plan with your Pacu? Continue in the minnow pond or let 'em loose in your larger pond? I'd really like to hear your observations going forward...this is one interesting fish and the more we can learn about it, the better.
