[cobhc]

I have bought these 4 fishes, thinking it was a piranha , but now i think its a pacu . am i right or wrong ?

Those are pacu. I hope you have a pond for all those fish

[genocidex]

+1 to the pacu, and to the pond you will need for them

This may be helpful if you decide to return the fish and go to search for a piranha http://www.angelfire.com/biz/piranha..._and_pacu.html.

Some pics from there




Also, why did you put this in the predatory catfish section?

Thanks , actually i don't wana return it at the moment ,kinda liking it. i will maybe sell those after couple of months, but thanks a lot for identifying.

I deeply apologize for posting it to the catfish section , i was in a hurry , and couldn't find the exact zone.
