Identify Red Bellied Pacu from a Red Bellied Piranha

[Water Wolf]

Cool, its amazing how the Pacu , which is generally more of a herbivore, have those kind of teeth for eating fruits and vegetables lol.

They need dentist for pacus lol those teeth were ****ed up so badly.

the jaw structure is noticeable at any age, as is the forehead slope.

The pacus get so large I have seen people feed them dog food as pellets

Some of the stores I've been to are ridiculous, trying to sell Pacu's as red belly piranhas and visa versa.

red belly PACU CAN EAT FISH to like piran?????

 

[cbarnes1987]

would a pacu bite your finger if you were dopey enough to stick it in??? you know, test the water... so to speak?

 

[all_or_nothin]

pacu can (and will) eat fish. trust me..

piranhas are way better than pacus

its alright saying piranhas are better than pacu, but the mess and faeces they leave behind is unbelievable. Very messy eaters, which means the tank has to be cleaned alot more often than the pacu tanks

i hope ive helped
