Hi and welcome to AC :ssmile:

If you post some pics of your cats we can identify it and let you know if they can live together.
They probably can but will need a huge amount of space.
How big is the pacu right now?

Dave did you get that off the top of your head again?lol
It is also known as the leopard catfish.
There is not a lot of info available on them.I guess it is a rare catfish.
As for diet I would go with NLS foods and plenty of green veggies.
I am looking forward to pics of yours!:22:

NG,
Yeah, knew it was a perruno cat soon as I saw it. They used to be very common in shops, 'til people found out how big and predatory they get.
