Do you call your self a fish keeper.... just wondering..?

It's wrong to kill a fish that you have taken the responsibility of caring for. But if it is not realistic to keep it and nobody will take it from you then putting it to death might be the only reasonable option.

I doubt they are going to want a Pacu..they are like Convict cichlids, its very hard to give them away. I wish you the best of luck...just try your hardest to find it a home.

Kill it. It's a fish like some others have said. I did this to one of my Oscars before. It kept killing others and I wasn't going to waste a 75 on one fish. So I took the mallet to it, then threw it in the fields. Days done, no worries and have a free tank now. Do what you have too, in the end chef it's a fish.

Try to find a home for it, but it's your fish now. Do what needs to be done. Even if it comes to......

So if you guys had a dog that was being aggressive towards your other dogs, and you carelessly assumed that no one else would take the aggressive dog and give it a good home, would you just shoot it?

So many "fishkeepers" see fish as objects instead of pets.

Edit: Not a very good example but......if I had taken in as an adult a super common breed of dog that no one wanted because it got like 300 lbs and 4' tall (dog vs fish comparison) and it was killing my other dogs and would kill any other dog it was with-no, I wouldn't 'shoot it'.
I'd take it to the vet and have it put down painlessly. It's a whole different ballgame anyway, because a dog can be trained.
