They are essentially carnivores feeding on small fish, crabs, mammals, lizards and coleopteran insects. Their opportunistic behavior allow them to adapt to various biotopes (Ref. 12225). They are timid and not aggressive but possess powerful dentition that can cause serious bites, and is therefore, potentially dangerous. Import is prohibited in some areas. However, the incorporation of this species in fish-based house security systems has been proposed (see Ref. 9506). Jégu, M. 2003 Serrasalminae (Pacus and piranhas). p. 182-196. In R.E. Reis, S.O.
