The number of produced eggs is thus less than if fed the maximum, but the far lower amount of algae used makes this an economical tradeoff. The Pacu's short lifespan and relatively large food output makes wild Pacu an easy source of food.
Place them in a tank of any size; even a one tile pool will do. They will produce one egg throughout their life even when overcrowded and untamed, keeping their numbers stable, while dropping fillets for your Duplicants to eat when they die, with no resource costs. An easy way to get Pacu into a tank is to move their eggs instead, via an Automatic Dispenser , a Conveyor Chute , or by moving the eggs to a Storage Bin in the pool and then unassigning storage from the bin, causing the eggs to drop.

Local conditions appeared to be so favorable that the fish started to grow the size they could never reach in their habitat. While in the tropical area of South America, pacu is a favorite object of cultivation due to its astonishing growth speed and high eating qualities.
The fish is famous for its soft and sweetish taste. During the first year, the juveniles grow to weigh more than 1 kg. There are a lot of different fishes with pacu names. However, quite often, their classification is rather confusing. It is interesting, not demanding, and easy to care for and feed fish, which has its kind of intelligence. However, the biggest problem in care is that it grows fast to become a huge fish, and rather quickly, it outgrows even very spacious tanks.
The problem is that on the market, the fish is quite often sold as juveniles and then mistaken for piranha. Although these fishes really look alike, fish is less aggressive and not that predatory since it feeds on plant food.
Max size is about 1. Provided with optimal conditions, pacu lifespan in a tank may be up to 25 years long. The body color varies from black to gray with some variations. The fish has square human-like teeth that make them incredibly similar to the human ones. Pacu and piranha juveniles are very much alike.
They have dark spots scattered over a silvery-steel body. Such coloring, together with a specific body shape, make the fish a pleasing object to have in a tank. As the fish grows, its appealing coloring becomes less contrast and changes from whity-brown to almost back. Its anal and pectoral fins are of the same color as the fish body. In black water dyed with humic acids, such as in Rio-Negro , they have a very dark color, while in white waters, they are much lighter-colored up to having a light-golden body.
In petshops, the fish is often sold as a vegetarian piranha. The juveniles are usually about cm in large, but the sellers often forget to warn their potential buyers that a small-sized tank will not stop the fish from growing.
As a result, these aquarists cannot create proper tank conditions for the fish and let them go to natural water bodies. The main requirement is a very large tank for adult species from about liters capacity. The only thing is that they require a very strong filtration because they pollute tank water a lot.
This is when the fish dies. They may cause a gaseous embolism and lead to fish death. The fish inhabits the middle water layers, and it needs some free space to swim. Fish is a bit timid — any unexpected movement causes a panic attack, and it starts swimming around the tank, hitting the objects and glass walls.
Fish is omnivorous, and in the wild, it feeds on fruit, corn, insects, snails, spineless species, and carrion. However, it will eat animal foods when the opportunity arises. For example, they will eat fish smaller than themselves, insects and animal-plankton. You should aim to imitate this diet in the captivity. Many pet shops sell pacus when they are very small.
When small, pacus act like many other community fish, and get along well with other species. Juvenile pacus will readily take fish flakes and other commercial fish food. Even at this stage, you should make an effort to include green foods in their diet. The easiest way to do this is with prepared foods formulated for vegetarian fish, like spirulina flakes or algae wafers. As an adult, pacu will rarely take flake food. However, they will accept other prepared food with more substance to them.
Floating pellets and freeze-dried food have nearly the same level of convenience as flake foods.
