Pacu fish, often mistaken for piranhas due to their similar appearance, are herbivorous fish native to South America. They are closely related to the Tambaqui, known for their large size and strong jaws. Pacu fish thrive in warm, freshwater environments and are popular in fish farming for their fast growth and commercial value. While they’re mostly found in the wild, they are also raised in controlled settings for their meat. Despite their intimidating teeth, their diet mainly consists of plants, fruits, and seeds.
