<snark> Best might be one of the local restaurateurs. I understand they're
quite tasty. </snark>
 
This is why people shouldn't buy pets like Pacus, red tailed sharks, tinfoil
barbs, most arowanas, or really big cichlids. I've seen Pacu's I swear were
more than 24" across in public aquaria. Does the Seattle AQ have a big
freshwater tank? Maybe they can be begged into taking on the Pacu.
