Local fishermen captured an 8-inch pacu — the first caught in Europe — sparking the warning for men to "keep your swimwear on."
Eight inches?!
That's a not a Pacu. I used to be an aquarium hobbyist and would often see Pacus at my local aquarium supply store that were much, much larger.
(
In my best "Crocodile"
Dundee voice) Now
that's a Pacu.
Though they sell them at aquarium stores (
in NJ anyway) where they may only be a couple of inches in length, they are not constrained by aquariums size and can grow to mammoth proportions. Still, I'm surprised that they can survive the colder waters of Sweden.
