Geeeeeeeeezzzz i thoguht pacu were vegetarians.........maybe not! Sorry for your loss man...

They will eat anything that they can get in their mouths, which for my pacu, includes other fish's fins, plastic plants, and pieces of driftwood.
 
Pacu are a social fish, keeping one solo will cause it to act oddly, this includes aggression and perhaps eating your arowana.

They really need to be housed in pairs, trios or more.

A 90 gallon tank is way too small for a 13" pacu. He will break the glass of the tank killing himself and any additional tank mates soon. I hope you can get him into a larger tank with a room mate or 3 soon. He'll thank you.
 
My rule of thumb with any big fish.... multiply the mouth size by 2 when you are not around... anything can happen.... sorry for your loss
 
yea guys i only got a 90 gal i am getting rid of the pacu now because i want anotther silver aro
