I swear, I think my RB pacu is part piranha. It is not because it shows any defining features that piranha have but this fish will DEVOUR anything that I put in the tank. so far, his body count is up to 2 small common plecos, an apple snail half the size of a golf ball, countless minnows meant to feed my other fish, a fire eel, and the fin of a good sized Pbass. just to prove that this fish would eat anything, i put a plastic bio ball in the tank and just watched, sure enough, he began to attack it and try to ingest it (I took it out before he could). Also, this pacu refuses to accept any vegetables, I have tried countless times to feed him algae pellets or greens but he simply ignores them. it is the only thing that this fish wont kill.

Anyone else ever had this problem?
 
Or maybe a Pacu x Pacu!! They are known for being beast. lol
 
i dunno about the mix, but i had a problem with one of my jaguars only eatting live fish and blood worms, u have to almost starve them, it sounds mean but its not. you don't give it any food u know it will eat only the food ur trying to get it to eat of course there is a limit from winging to another food and straving
 
i know, the title was more of a joke
 
my pacu mauls goldfish but leaves the body he eats only the guts,. along with every suction cup in the tank...
