Red-bellied Pacu Fingerling
Piaractus brachypomus (fingerling)
Fingerlings move through quiet river channels, floodplain lakes, and submerged forest as water levels rise. Their diet broadens to include aquatic plants, fruits, seeds, insects, and small invertebrates. Their increasingly strong, tooth-lined jaws are already suited to cropping and crushing tough food.
