They can be black if you get a "Black Pacu."You can get Red Bellied Pacu too. They are silver with a red belly.They can get up to 24 inches long.They eat a ton so make sure if you get one that the other fish get food too.Petsmart says they need a 75+ Gallon tank, but I say at least 36+.I would say to get a big filter no matter what.Make sure you know you can handle one before you purchase.THANKS bye.

Will adult red belly pacu fight adult Oscars?
Actually the Oscar won't fight. I had a red-belled pacu in a tank with an Oscar and I came home one day and the pacu had eaten the Oscar and a kissing fish and a parrot fish. They aren't suppose to eat fish their size but I think mine taps more into the nature of his piranha cousins than most. If you get both just be careful and make sure the Oscar is bigger and dominant. On the contrary every Oscar and every pacu has different personalities. Some will fight some will not. I have an Oscar in a 1500 gallon tank that hates pacu. And I've got a pacu that hates Oscars... So you never know...
