Is your pacu eating?
What are you feeding?
How large is your fish and aquarium (pacus can get quite large for
thier surroundings)?
Do you have artificial plants in your aquarium? (sometimes pacus eat
them)
What are your ammonia, nitrite, ph levels?
I have kept many Pacus over the years (one resteraunt I maintained had
6 seperate 200-500 gallon aquariums with pacus), they generally are
easy to keep, but sometimes they will eat strange things that make them
sick

Pacu hasn't been eating well for the past few months. He has had a
varied diet for years (formula one pellets, flake, peas, some fruit, he
used to like tubifix worms and other fish I'd buy him for company
though supposedly a veg). I have had the same artificial plant in his
tank for years and he is not eating it. His water levels are fine and
he is on his own in a 35 gallon tank with only a small pleco . What do
you feed your fish? How long have yours lived? Thanks.

i had pacu's for many years, how old is yours? what size? other then in the
very begining i dont think mine ever fit well in a 35 gl. (when he was a
little guy)
you do know you will need a much bigger tank right? ours was over a foot in
the first few years
we fed ours a veriaty of food, including feeder fish a couple times a month.
