my red hook silver dollars tropical aquarium fish


They can grow very large and can sometimes reach 30 inches/ 75 cm but they usually dont reach that size when kept in an aquarium tank. 12 inches / 30 cm is a more common size in aquariums. You should however be prepared that they may grow to their full size when buying a red hook silver dollars and that you might need to be able to house a very big fish.

red hook silver dollars fish are not suitable aquarium fish for most aquarist due to their size and the fact that they grow very fast when given the proper care. red hook silver dollars is an appreciated food fish which led the Brazilian government to set up a breeding program for the species to replenish the wild population. The project was successful and this has led to red hook silver dollars becoming the absolutely most common in the aquarium trade and being breed for food all around the world. This project also increased the amount of available Red Belly Pacu information and the amount of information about the breeding of the species. Breeding this species demands large ponds or possible very large aquariums and will therefore not be detailed in this red hook silver dollars info sheet.

A Red belly Pacu aquarium tank
Red Belly Pacu does due to their size need large aquariums to thrive. Juveniles should never be kept in aquariums of less then 50 gallons (190 L) and adult fishes should be kept in aquarium of at least 200 gallons (700 L) or even better in an indoor pond (or outdoor if the climate permits). An aquarium for Red Bellied Pacu should be well filtered and kept at a temperature between 78-82ºF (25-28ºC)

Red Belly Pacu will eat any plants that you but in their aquarium so avoid plants in the decoration. Instead decorate the aquarium with large pieces of bogwood among which the Pacu can hide. A few large can also add to the comfort of the fishes and help given the aquarium a more appealing décor.

Other large friendly fishes make suitable companions for adult specimens while young Red Belly Pacu fish prefers to be kept with other Pacu. Suitable species to keep with includes Oscar fish, Arowana, Clown knife fish, and Datnoids.

Feeding Red Belly Pacu

Red Belly Pacu fish accepts most food sources and are very easy to feed. Juvenile Red Belly Pacu does well on a diet of flake food but large specimens require pellets or live food to do well. Their diet should also contain vegetables
like salad and broccoli. They do well on a diet of pellets and vegetables so live food isnt necessary unless you want to try and breed red bellied Pacu.

Next tank will be a 30″ planted shrimp tank, will be making the lighting system myself, so please look back soon.

African Malawi Fish Tank Aquarium

After many changes, the finished Malawi fish tank, housed in 450 litre bow fronted aquarium (5′x2′x2′) are approx 70 fish including 4 clown loach, 3 Pictus catfish, 3 Bristlnose pleco, 1 Rainbow shark, 4 Denison Barbs, 3 Tropheus and an array of Malawi Cichlids from a variety of Alunocara to Yellow Labs and Livingstonii.

Before you say there are too many fish, I promise you there aren’t, if there were any less then the aggression between them would be too high!

The set up consists of:

Juwel Vision 450 Fish Tank (450 litres)
1 x Juwel Jumbo internal filter
1 x Fluval FX5 external filter
2 x 1500lph powerheads with air inlets and polishing filters
2 x 300W heaters
Approx 100-120kg ocean rock
Colour and Blue T5 lighting tubes
Blue moonlight LED strips

As expected the malawis are breeding regularly, there always 2-3 females pregnant at any one time, 25-50% water change carried out once per week.

Approx cost including fish was £2k but it brings hours of relaxation so worth every penny !!
