Pacu are actually quite easy to take care of. They are related to Pirranah, but they are almost entirely vegetarian. Feed plenty of vegetable matter. The only difficulty in keeping Pacu is that they get extremely large, and can break aquariums by ramming into the glass when full grown! That being said, it is important to house them in very large, and very strong aquariums.

Can a pacu eat shrimp?

Pacu are primarily vegetarians. They can eat meat, however it is not necessarily good for them. Meat from mammals is high in fat, and is more difficult for the pacu to digest. It also is less nutritious for them than vegetables, fruit or fish food. Shrimp is perfectly fine for a pacu to eat, however I would not turn it into his primary diet. I feed mine algae wafers, and the occasional peas, lettuce, and carrots. Mine also eats some of the regular fish flakes that I feed the other community fish in the tank with him.
