look like Black Piranha (Guyana)(Serrasalmus Rhombeus)

depending on the collection point. why? black end tail, orange/yellowis gills, red eyes.
 
rhombeus and black p- are different name for the same fish -Serrasalmus Rhombeus. i can't tell you the origin of the fish by just looking at features when it's still a juvi.
 
The first one is a rhom for sure.

I agree....
 
Probably both rhoms. You wont know the collection point unless you pulled them from the water yourself, or you know the person that did.
 
thanks for the response to my question.

the p in first 2 pix's i figured was a rhom, but the smaller one in the second 2 pix's was what i was more interested in, his head is alot slimmer and longer then any small rhom i have seen. the guy i got him from had him listed as a black p, but that doesn't mean that is what he is. so i was just trying to find out if he was a rhom or something else.

thanks
