Red Pacu Colossoma Brachypomum 5cm

Overview: The Red Pacu, recognized for its vibrant coloration and robust build, is a striking freshwater fish that captivates enthusiasts with its beauty and size potential. Originating from South America, particularly the Amazon River Basin, these fish are known for their active behavior and impressive growth rates.

Origin: Hailing from the Amazon, Red Pacus are native to the flowing waters of South America. Their natural habitat encompasses rivers and tributaries where they thrive in warm, tropical conditions.

Feeding: Red Pacus are omnivorous and display an appetite for both plant matter and protein-based food sources. A varied diet consisting of high-quality pellets, vegetables, and occasional live or frozen foods enriches their nutrition and overall health.

Tank Mates: While juvenile Red Pacus can coexist with other fish, their substantial size as adults necessitates ample space and careful consideration when selecting tank mates. Compatibility is best ensured with similarly sized, robust fish species that can endure the Pacu’s active nature.

Aggression: These fish are generally peaceful as juveniles but can become territorial and aggressive as they mature. Providing adequate space and minimizing overcrowding can help mitigate aggressive tendencies.

Experience Level: Due to their substantial size and specific care needs, Red Pacus are best suited for intermediate to experienced aquarists. Their requirements include a spacious tank, diligent maintenance, and awareness of their potential growth.

Water Parameters: Maintaining stable water conditions is crucial for Red Pacus. They thrive in temperatures between 72°F to 86°F (22°C to 30°C) and prefer slightly acidic to neutral pH levels (6.0 to 7.5). Additionally, ensuring high water quality with regular filtration and partial water changes is vital for their well-being.
