Yes a 3 inch pacu can live two 5 to 6 inches oscar!!!!!
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.
5-15 years generally
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
It is never right to put Amphibians in with fish. The amphibian will poison the water.
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.
A pacu is any of several South American freshwater fishes related to the piranha.
Red belly pacus are the same thing as a black pacu and it all depends on how your pacus act.
A Pacu might live up to 7 or 8 years old.But most likely around 5 or 6.In two years they will grow to be 24 inches (2 Feet.)They eat more than you imagine.THANKS bye.
