Is it safe to keep Oscars and red bellied pacus in the same tank?

The Pacus are vegetarian and pretty harmless but they get very very large weighing in at around 30 Kgs (70lbs approx) when fully grown. Oscars are tiny by comparison. When fully grown they are only about 1.5 Kgs (4 lbs approx). Minimum sized tank for a couple of Oscas is about 72" x 18" x 18 ". You would need a very large tank maybe 10 x the size the Oscars need. Something that holds several thousand gallons of water to keep Pacus successfully.


Can a Pacu be kept with a Pirahna?

Many species are called Pacus but they mainly come from the same area and inhabit similar conditions so I would say yes but only if your aquarium is over 8 to 10 feet long x 2 feet High and 2 feet Wide. It would need to be set up with large power filters and low pH water. Pacus get over 3 feet long and commonly weigh in at over 60lbs.
