A pacu is any of several South American freshwater fishes related to the piranha.
Pacu are not as aggressive as Piranhas but can be if threatened.
on admission into the pacu, 30 minutes after admission into the pacu, and at 60 minutes
I think you mean Pacu: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pacu
Not all species that are piranha-like are carnivores. The Pacu-Pacu generally eat seeds that fall into the water and they look like piranhas. The Pacu-Pacu can also be kept in tropical home aquariums as a species tank.
Red belly pacus are the same thing as a black pacu and it all depends on how your pacus act.
both pacu and piranha eat live meat and they both can have red bellies too. the real difference is between their jaws, nose and teeth. piranha has a produting lower jaw while pacu has a round mouth. pacu's nose is button shaped but piranha's nose is unmistakable. and piranhas have much larger teeth than pacus.
There are several differences between the pacu and the piranha fish. One is their jaw alignment, their teeth are different. Their sizes are generally also different, a grown pacu is larger than a piranha.
yes.
Nothing you dumb person.
Yes a 3 inch pacu can live two 5 to 6 inches oscar!!!!!
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...
the st. Vincent parrot has a shorter beak and brighter colors but the pacu has a long beak non bright colors and no anus
