20+ inch King piranha

There is nothing wrong with it, it just has "character" I honestly really like how it looks! Looks soo much meaner!! I think he was picked on by his tank mates and just grew that way

That one was overfed and was being kept in a too small of a tank for the size of the fish. water quality probably wasn't the best as you can see it got HITH all over that poor fish.

I think "FAIL" is the most overrated and overused word on these forums.

Yeah, poor big guy looks old with major "hole in the head" syndromes. If it was in the wild, small fishes would probably live in those nooks and crannies like when you see sharks in the ocean with tag alongs eating their leftover scraps

It's not so much that mate, it's the fact the video is too dark to see the jaw differences...

I agree piranha not pacu. Here is a pic of my 22" black pacu the colors are different pacu green on top black on bottom, piranha it's the opposite also the shape of the head is a dead give away.

Personally i think the debate over weither or not THAT specific piraya is a piranha is pointless but just for the sake of you coming to the realization that it's a piranha yourself...there ARE links to additional pics AND videos in the info section of the video. Check out the color, body shape, jaw structure, the lack of the doofy lookin face that all pacus have
