you can't have a pacu in a tank under 300 gallon, a 55 gallon tank is no where near big enough

The best solution is to start calling fish shops around town to see who has room for the fish. Hopefully somebody can take it in. Keeping it in a ten gallon tank isn't very comfortable, and is really scary for the fish. That's why he keeps jumping out.
