Gyana Rhom

sure is.. guyana is just the location from which it was collected.. Serrasalmus rhombeus comes in many different shapes and sizes.. ohh and welcome to Piranhas. im sure youll find these fish to be quite interesting..
ah cepon thanks man!
reason i ask is a guy local to me has one for sale listed as a "Gyana rhom". I've wanted a rhom for ages but when I started trying to do soem research I found very little under that name. But saw it linked to Serrasalmus rhom.
Wanted to check I was researching the right fish
So is this a good rhom to keep? I'm in no rush I can bide my time and wait for a different species if need be.
But as this fish is local it seems like a good deal.

i have two from peru, but i really want a guyana or an xingu, i would buy it the minute you read this because its a really interesting fish. the guyana is particularly beautiful so it would be a really great buy good luck i hope you buy it.

guyana rhoms are nice. is it black or white?
they tend to be quite aggro aswell
According to the latest released research results, S. rhombeus now appears as restricted to Guyana, so Guyana Rhom IS S. rhombeus.
Morphologically similar specimens from other localities are no longer regarded to be S. rhombeus-complex species. Instead they are historical-, or new-, species of the rhombeus-group (which, by the way, also include small species like S. sanchezi)
So please fasten your seat-belts. Piranha-taxonomy is about to turn upside-down once again!

but sanchezi isnt a rhom anyway, its a sanchezi, it shares the serrasalmus genus but that is it.
are u sure you know what ur talkin about?
post a link to this 'info'
s. sanchezi and s. rhom are totally different... Please let me know where you got that info? Sanchezi max out at 8"-9" where as s.rhom 24"-28". As babies yes there is a similarity for those who are not familiar with both species but for those who know its like night and day.
My 2 cents,
