Pacu |
| Piaractus Brachypomum |
| Temperature: 72º - 79º |
| Diet: They are omnivorous and will eat almost anything. I've fed mine grapes, peas, broccoli, bananas, cherry tomatoes, feeders, krill, beef heart, raw chicken breast, earthworms and food pellets. |
| Length: 5' |
| Compatibility: They are relatively mild mannered. They will do well with most other Cichlids. Your concerns should be the others harassing them. |
| Comments: Because of their size and appetite they will produce a lot of organic waste in the system. You have to make sure you have the proper filtration. When I bought my big guy he was as big as a quarter. He's close to two feet long now. Make sure you have the "big tank" ready. |
| Total in my Collection: 1 Adult Red Pacu |
