Pacu are aquatic critters that can be managed for eggs and edible output using aquatic handling rather than a land Stable.

WHERE & HOW TO FARM
Where to farm
Use a liquid tank accessible to duplicants for setup and maintenance. Keep aquatic handling equipment appropriate to Pacu near the enclosure.
Pacu farming is an aquatic critter system. Wild Pacu can be tamed by feeding, and their handling uses aquatic-specific buildings rather than a standard land-ranch setup. Provide a suitable liquid enclosure, then use the appropriate feeding and handling equipment available in your colony. Watch population and egg accumulation: a cramped tank can undermine the purpose of keeping the fish. Collect edible output through the colony’s available critter-processing route.
Pacu from an explored aquatic area or another valid in-game source.
Liquid enclosure appropriate for aquatic critters.
Aquatic-specific feeding or ranching equipment.
Duplicant access and storage or processing route for eggs and edible output.
Locate Pacu in a water biome and inspect the enclosure options before moving any fish.
Prepare a tank with sufficient liquid space and duplicant access for the available aquatic equipment.
Move Pacu into the tank using critter handling tasks and keep the enclosure from becoming overcrowded.
Use a Fish Feeder or other suitable aquatic equipment to feed a wild Pacu when taming is the goal.
Check the animal status and available equipment to determine whether it is wild or tame and what care it needs.
Collect eggs or edible output using the colony’s critter handling and processing route.
Remove excess eggs or critters, and review tank capacity before adding more fish.
Farming tips
Do not try to substitute a land Stable for aquatic equipment; Pacu need aquatic handling.
Start with the tank’s capacity and food plan, then add fish only if the setup can support them.
Repeat, collect and use
A managed Pacu population can provide recurring eggs or edible output while liquid space, feed, and handling remain suitable. Collect outputs and control population; any wild Pacu source you harvest directly is limited to the fish present.
Common mistakes
Using land-ranch assumptions for aquatic critters; install aquatic-specific feeding and handling equipment.
Letting eggs accumulate until the tank is crowded; collect or route excess eggs and critters.
Taming without a feed plan; confirm suitable feeding access before relying on long-term production.
When to stop or switch
Stop adding Pacu when tank space or feed becomes constrained. Reduce or redirect the population if fish care and output collection demand more resources than the colony can support.
