After he cracked a part of the tank he was in i donated him to the aquarium i was working at the time where there was a tank that was much larger than mine. Pacu's belong to the same family as the neon tetra. He is basically a pirahna without the teeth or an extra large Silver Dollar. Here in Aus. silver dollars are not allowed to be imported into the country under a certain size as it's too hard to tell if they are actually a pirahna or not. Don't ask how i got mine. And a little trivia for you about Pacu's. They eat figs and cannot digest the seeds so when they pass them they are actually helping the plant disperse it's seeds.
