Remarks: Pacu are massive fish known to have teeth that are said to almost look like that of a human's. This is due to them needing crushing dentition to feed on fallen fruits and nuts in their native range.
Due to how large this species gets and them being better suited for ponds rather than aquariums, we no longer carry this species.
