I did a Google search and the the teeth of the Pacu looked flat like a sheepshead but the teeth that Sam post looked more like Piranha teeth. I could be wrong.

Pacu do have teeth somewhat similar to a Sheepshead, at least the uppers.
Look closely at his pic, Piranha have sharply triangular teeth, like a Mack or some sharks.
I'm a South/Central American fishkeeping geek , trust me its a RB Pacu.Ragnar Benson:

Well, after several hours making phone calls, I was able to track down a certain manufacturer’s service center in California. Thankfully, they agreed to send out my needed parts. These were left over...
You would think I would know this!
