Pacu are related to piranha, but are vegetarian. It can grow to about three feet and weight about 69 pounds.

They're in the same family as piranha but vegetarian. Supposedly they taste really good.

Yes it’s a Pacu and reported to be delicious. They are related to piranha being in the tetra family. But pacu are omnivorous, but mainly feed on vegetation, seeds, and nuts that fall into the water.
