Many species are called Pacus but they mainly come from the same area and inhabit similar conditions so I would say yes but only if your aquarium is over 8 to 10 feet long x 2 feet High and 2 feet Wide. It would need to be set up with large power filters and low pH water. Pacus get over 3 feet long and commonly weigh in at over 60lbs.

How do you tell if a pacu fish is male or female?

There are several species known colloquially as Pacu fish. They are all related to and larger than the Pirahna. They get VERY BIG. Over a metre and weighing in at over 60lbs. To the best of my knowledge there is no sexual dimorphism in aquarium specimens. I would assume that in adult fish the female is the one that lays the eggs.
