This species requires the same care as its cousin the Black Pacu. Cousins to the Piranha, they generally lack the aggressive quality of their relatives. The body is dark grey with tiny scales; the belly and anal fin being dark grey or black.
In an aquarium through which you had to look up through small glass portholes to catch glimpses of the fish were black pacus, tiger shovel-nosed catfish and red-tailed catfish all of whom had been donated by their previous 'owners'.
