i m getting some red belly piranhas .yes they r legal in our country.but i m new so plz guide me how to identify them i don't want any other type of piranhas such as black piranhas or pacu
 
do you have pictures of the fish you want to get? post them here and we can try to help out.
 
It's hard for us to tell judging by the pictures...
I know my LFS sells piranha like crazy. Try and get some better pictures.
Are these in your tank as of now?

- They might be red bellies, but im leaning towards the hollandi piranha.
Maybe this will help?... http://boboy78.ada.htmlplanet.com/species.html
 
looks like juvinile hollandi piranha
 
those are pygocentrus nattereri aka red belly piranha.
hollandi is in serrasalmus genus not pygocentrus. besides there's doubt that if there's real hollandi. many the so called hollandi turn out to be sanchezi or rhom, etc
for information on hollandi see link below
