Are pacu able to breed with piranha I don’t see why not only reason I don’t know if they can breed is because of size difference
Personally never read or heard of the two breeding with each other but wouldn't shock me if it happened.
They can’t breed. Usually genus has to match, and piranhas or pacus usually don’t breed outside species.
100% a red belly pacu. They may have human teeth, but even then there are razors at the end. If it doesn’t have the underbite, no way it’s a piranha. Pacus do need to eat both veggies and meat.

what should I do it won’t eat and won’t move he doesn’t have any trouble staying upright but won’t float
Looks like Pacu to me...based on the spots.. piranha babies the spots are distinguished individually.. in your pic the spots connect. And in piranhas the root of the tail is black, in pacus the tip is black.. the jawline is the giveaway too.. baby redbellies the underbite is noticeable.. not an expert. Just my opinion. The pic above is my rbp when they were young. Hope I helped abit.
