It is just a Pacu, a vegetarian cousin of the Piranha. They have boney teeth that are much like mini-molars. Figures the kind of people they breed in Texas would be amazed by a very common fish.

The Pacu has been found pretty much everywhere since they are hardy fish that can grow to huge sizes. People get them as small as a quarter in diameter for their home aquariums thinking, "It looks like a Piranha but won't eat any other fish? Perfect!" When the thing is approaching a foot in diameter (usually in only a year or two) with no end in sight (they do get rather large) the people dump them into local lakes and streams.

Probably because the "Official" got a GED and his cousin is the Governer.

Wow, now we know what became of the Incredible Mr. Limpett.



You can see the Fishy Teeth better in this shot though...

Hotlinking is prohibited, according to your second link.

This is an unnecessary comment. What kind of people do they breed in Texas Voxel?

I see you're from New Jersey. Which exit? A HA HA HA! Just kidding. See, it's not nice to pick on people.........

Oh wait George W. is from Texas isn't he? Oops...you were right Voxel.

ok i heard about this on coast to coast 2 nights ago too, again why are people baffled if it is common? i get the whole cousin is the governor yada yada...and i agree but people are still acting like theyve never heard of this fish before....i say its hype. oh well i thought i would make a thread about it anyway, the fish is grosse looking lol
