i wish the woman at the damn store told me that, oh they get about 6 - 10 inchs. haha pfft, i learned READ READ READ b4 buying any fish 99% of the time ppl at petsmart know nothing. pacu are eating machines and they grow massive, should not be in the aqurium trade! i just sold mine to a man with a 75 gallon tank for 15$ i bought them for 12$. . . i am sure about 1.5 - 2 months he will be selling those fish or even donating them to a aquarium.

i got rid of them buddy, i dont have them anymore, and the size isnt the only reason u knew! i showed u the lower jaw at the pet store when we went once, piranha jaws go out more and pacu dont.

Their eyes are somehow different too. I can't explain it.

Also, the Pacu's mouth looks like a chubby cheeked kid smiling....That's how I can tell the difference!!
