i myself am a pacu owner they are 7" each i have also read a story from a pacu owner whos 18" RBP got spooked and cracked the tank wall.
how true this is i dont know, but i hope its not. i figure an 18" pacu would be in atleast a 150 gal tank and the glass on big tanks is thick i find it hard to believe.

I haven't had one break the wall but I did have a 12" Pacu in a 50 gallon show tank break the 1/4" plate glass canopy. Fortunately only the canopy was hurt.
