[QUOTE="SNCBOOM, post: 6926574, member: 183309"] Wow...first of all pacu are herbivores...they only really resemble pirahna as juveniles...then they turn into 40lb beasts and are not suitable for aquarium life unless you have a pond or 5,000+ gallon system. I wouldn't even put an Oscar, Dat, or Aro in a 55g. It's a fairly shallow tank. I would get rid of the plecosotumus' too, they get beastly also. Maybe you should look into planted community tanks and just do a couple of Angels and maybe some other small community fish like cardinal tetras [they're similar to neon tetras but have more vibrant color]. A lot of beginners start out with 55's because they think they're huge and can put whatever in there. It's just not true. If you want to really get into some aggressive fish keeping try monsterfishkeepers.com I spend a lot of time on there but don't post a lot. cliff notes: Just build a nice planted community tank with a few Angels and some smaller fishes. :thumbsup: [/QUOTE]
