i have 2 red belly pacu, in my tank and they are about 5-6" i would say. and i just dumped a bunch of feeder gold fish in for my pike, and the pacus will eat a goldfish and spit the scales out then chew a little more and spit the rest out. is this normal for pacus to do this, i know they are mostly vegitarians but sometimes when they get older they ll eat gold fish, should they do it this young????
thanks
