First off, a Pacu is NOT a Piranha AT ALL.
Secondly, Yes you can feed your Pacu shrimp, and many other white fish. Pellets are always good and as some stated some vegetable in the diet is nice as well. I hope you did your research and have a HUGE tanks because Pacus get VERY large VERY fast. Just remember a varied diet is best!

Mine will eat anything and everything. Shrimp, fish, beefheart, pellets, romaine, zucchini, peas, cantelope, honeydew, algae wafers. If it fit in his mouth he will eat it. They do grow fast, mine has grown 2 inches in a month. Might be that he is no longer living in a ten gallon tank or that he eats like a pig. Good luck with the soon to be monsters.
i'm sure most stores carry guava, papayas, cucumbers, potatoes, tomatoes, and avocados...and there are a bunch of foreign veggies/fruits in the amazon, which are really common in AsiaDeLgAdO;1384849; said:you most likely wont find it in a grocery store

Red Belly Pacu grow slightly shorter then Black Pacu but the growth rate is still around the 1" p/month untill they hit 2ft, after that growth slows down a bit. Dont quote me on this though.
