Summary
A Portland-based TikTok creator, @the_fish_maestro, has drawn attention after a video of his large pacu, “Uncle Steve,” went viral. Viewers questioned whether the fish had enough space in its tank. The fish, reportedly won at a fair 30 years ago, is described as a giant pacu, which can grow up to 3.2 feet long and 88 pounds. Bristol Aquarium warns that pacus outgrow typical home tanks. The creator claims the fish is a rescue and not his, but details about its background remain unclear. A care guide recommends at least 2,500 liters for an adult pacu, far exceeding the size of the tank shown.
