Here's a couple photos of Brutus in the pond. Couple of them I guarantee you have never seen of a Pacu.

Note the full grown Red Devil in the top left.

Large Pleco (14") on the bottom...the little guy on the left is a foot in length...and right above Brutus's head is an adult female Dovii.

...and the mouth...

You can see the adult Jack Dempsey that was a little late getting to the spirulina wafers.

That's an adult female Argentae below his head. Gives you some perspective on how thick his body is.

:eek:

OMG!! Those teeth!! That fat body!! He's humungo!!

I assume you don't put your hands in there to change the water!! He's really cool though. He looks as though he's smiling at the camera!

It's the little guy you have to watch out for...and that's only cause he's constantly hungry. All of them are docile and shy even. He recognizes me and will come to the surface to be fed...startle him and be prepared for a shower.
 
From what I hear, they eat fruit in the wild. I remember seeing some footage of them waiting under trees for figs to drop. You ever tried it?
 
Is it just me, or does Brutus remind anyone of the creatures from the "Alien" movies?

When he opens his mouth does another mouth shoot out?
 
Haha.

What is Brutus again? What kind of fish?
