Definitely Piranha, the easiest way to tell the difference between the two are the teeth Pacu have blunt teeth, if you pull the lip down on the Piranha you have posted you would see a set of serrated sharp triangle shaped choppers. Btw don't try to look for yourself, just google piranha teeth.

at that small size you won't really see any teeth unless you take the fish out of water al pull down their lips....
it's very easy to tell them apart, the jaw/mouth looks completely different between pacu and piranha.
