No. Not at all. Just as the members on that board said, these and several other species should not be kept in a home aquarium. They just get to freaking huge!
But with a large enough *read: enough space to house a small fleet of VW's* anything is possible.
None the less; thousands of these fish will be sold to unsuspecting, illinformed people in the coming year. Unfortunate, but true.

OMG mana I love this quote
lol I might have to steal it sometime
I look at that picture and laugh...I was in my petsmart last week and there was a tank of pacu's...about 2.5 inches each...they're so cute...lol I can't believe they actually sell them as a tank fish, I wonder how many of them die before the person realizes that its going to outgrow their tank?

Almost correct.
That's actually a black pacu, not the red belly pacu more commonly seen in the hobby. The blacks are about a foot longer than the reds, and I assume more difficult to keep.
Pacu are rewarding if you can invest in keeping them alive. I have three in a 260 gallon tank, and they are happy and healthy. If you don't have thousands to blow on enormous tanks, stay away from the pacu.
