The two fish that I think most people think of in the states as Pacu are: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colossoma http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Piaractus_brachypomus https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red-bellied_piranha It would be lengthy to describe differences in detail as the 2 pacu above are indeed quite different from the red bellied piranha.
