I need an ID asap

[cichlid_starter]

I brought in what were supposed to be black rhoms. I don't think they are. This is not a pic of mine but this is what they are.

The link to this image just led me to a piranha 3D review site lol.

def not a geryi....geryis have a purple stripe through their body and head like a racing stripe

I doubt that. I hope you're right though lol. That would be awesome!

Ballin, Is that one fish? Peruvian species rhom then?

 

[cichlid_starter]

idk

yes, the small ones are all the same fish.

looks the same as the one i currently have when it was smaller. i just bought it as a "black piranha" at some fish store and figured i'd get an id when it was bigger and prayed every night that it'd have some color when it grew. it now has greenish blue tint

ive never been very good at IDing piranhas so don't take my words for it. i know the basics when there's major distuinguising features but don't break it down to a science like most of the regulars in the piranha section.

as far as which variation it may be...i believe you can't tell at that size without knowing the collection point
