    Red Bellied Pacu, Piaractus brachypomus

    Piaractus brachypomus - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

    Thats a little one, they get much bigger.

    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.
