Albino Pacu

🧬 Albino Pacu (Piaractus brachypomus) – Rare Color Morph of a Monster Vegetarian Powerhouse

The Albino Pacu is a striking and uncommon variant of one of the aquarium world’s true gentle giants. With its pearly-white body, glowing red eyes, and massive silver-to-golden flanks, this fish brings a clean, elegant look to any monster or oddball tank—without sacrificing the power and presence Pacus are known for.

Related to piranhas but entirely herbivorous, the Albino Pacu is peaceful, fast-growing, and incredibly intelligent, making it a popular choice for aquarists with large tanks or indoor ponds seeking a calmer alternative to aggressive predators.
