im not the greatest at IDing piranhas but to me those look like normal RBP's

metynis maculatus IS a silver dollar(ive previously owned a pair) those are not
 
a clearer pic of the mouth area will let us know if they are piranhas or not an overbite is alwasy a pacu no overbite nor underbite is a silver dollar or pacu and an underbite is a piranha


edit: you stated you saw some teeth on them and they had an underbite correct ? in that case i stand by the fact that there just RBP's they look identical to mine (yes i finaly got some pics up later guys)
 
Def saw teeth; not so sure about any underbite though. I will have to look closer and try to get some better pics. Thanks for the feedback! I have two fairly large pacus and the mouths are not the same, plus if I remember correctly I dont recall seeing any teeth at all when they were juvies! They sure eat me out of house and home now though!
 
those look very very much like pacus
