	CAE and Pacu
puffer_archer Enthusiast Posts: 288 Kudos: 250 Votes: 4 Registered: 20-Jul-2004	Anyone have any thoughts on how CAE would get along with Pacu. My parents came home with one today for the Pacu tank. I wasn't sure how they will get along...though as small as he is, he may end up being a snack.

EDIT: Also, there is a good chance the CAE will develop a habit of sucking on the pacus. Last edited by Cory Addict at 16-Oct-2004 00:00 I'm not your neighbor, you Bakersfield trash.

Well, he's made it one day! There are quite a few hiding places in the tank that he can get away from them, so I think that will improve his odds. Unfortunately I'm at college and this tank is at home, so I'll have to make sure my parents keep an eye on the situation. My dad has a lot of fish experience, so I trust him with them.
