About the Albino Pacu

Name: Albino Pacu

Max Size: Up to 3 feet (90 cm) or more

Recommend pH: 6.0-7.5

Recommended Temperature (Β°F): 75-82Β°F (24-28Β°C)

Diet: Albino Pacus are omnivorous and have a hearty appetite. They have a primarily herbivorous diet consisting of plants, fruits, and vegetables. They will also consume small invertebrates, insects, and even smaller fish. Providing a varied diet with a mix of plant-based foods, high-quality pellets, and occasional live or frozen foods will help keep them healthy.

Temperament: Generally Peaceful (but can become aggressive as they grow larger)

Schooling or Non-Schooling Fish: Non-Schooling Fish (Albino Pacus are generally solitary as adults, but they can be kept in groups when young.)

Possible types of tank mates: Albino Pacus can be kept with larger, peaceful fish species that can tolerate their size and potential aggression. Suitable tank mates may include other large characins, catfish, or cichlids. It's important to provide ample space and hiding spots to reduce aggression and territorial behavior.

Behavior: Albino Pacus are popular aquarium fish known for their impressive size and unique appearance. They are a variety of the common Pacu fish, but with a striking albino coloration. As juveniles, they have a more peaceful temperament and can be kept in community tanks. However, as they grow, their behavior can become more aggressive and territorial. Due to their large size, they require a spacious aquarium with ample swimming room. Albino Pacus are known for their strong and powerful swimming abilities. They may exhibit playful behavior, especially when provided with large structures like driftwood or rocks to explore and interact with. Keep in mind that Albino Pacus can outgrow standard home aquariums and require special accommodations as they reach their maximum size.

Fun Fact: Pacus, including Albino Pacus, are sometimes referred to as the "vegetarian piranhas" due to their strong jaws and similarity in appearance to their carnivorous relatives. However, it's important to note that Albino Pacus are primarily herbivorous and have a milder temperament compared to piranhas. Despite their vegetarian diet, their teeth remain sharp, enabling them to crush tough plant matter and even crack open nuts or seeds that fall into the water.

Perhaps the best store on island to get freshwater fish. They have a huge variety, including higher end freshwater fish (discus, puffers, flowerhorns , oddballs, ect) I’ve stocked a few tanks with their fish. They quarantine well and keep it real on how their fish are doing in shop.

Had a great experience here. I was looking for a unicorn/alicorn betta and spoke with the owner, Josh, about it. I ended up using his fish importing services to import a fish from Jakarta, and he brought in a few more white opaque or unicorn type half moon bettas too, to add to the variety in store. I got a sneak peak of the store while it was shut down for one week for a proper quarantine of its new fish. The owner knows his fish and keeps them healthy. A very different experience from a Petco or PetSmart! A Petco employee even recommended I go here for more unique betta fish. Note that they carry other types of fish too, plus Aquatic plants and some aquarium equipment. Pictured are some of the giant bettas, the alicorn betta, and i believe a beautiful ram.

Wonderful shop with lots of variety. Has the most unique selection of fish on the island, and at a reasonable price! Staff is friendly and very helpful when we have questions or concerns. Love coming here and seeing the jokes around the store. Also, Vinnie!

The owner, Josh, is not just knowledgeable about the fish, but also plants and tank issues. I am new to fish tanks and he has been extremely helpful in answering my questions and offering suggestions to make my experience easier. Parking is a bit tricky, but certainly worth it.

They have rare plants you can't find at most places. Got lucky we got a few; my husband is happy. This is one of his favorite places. They get pretty busy, so be patient. The staff are very helpful.
