    Excerpt
    Las Farolas, the living museum of river monsters which quietly observed its first anniversary recently, it also the sanctuary of the Red Pacu or Red Belly Pacu, an omnivorous South American freshwater fish which is related to the piranha. Unlike the piranha, the Pacu is peaceful and doesn't have an aggressive temperament. The Red Pcu, locally known as Tambaqui and which belongs to the characin family or tetra, grows much larger than the piranha, reaching ups to 3 feet and 25 kg. (55 pounds) in the wild.
