Any pics of it?

 

[CrypticSins]

ya prolly a pacu, people how don't "know" alot about Ps often mix them up

7 and a half pounds, if it were a piranha, that would be a big piranha...

Definately a pacu. No one in their right mind would release a piranha that big it would worth a couple thousand dollars.

it could be a piranha that somebody released when it was smaller. If there is a hot water discharge from a power plant it could probably overwinter without a problem.

The only Ps that could get that large would be a rhom, manny, or piraya and I think anyone with those rarer/harder to get species would have known at least a little bit about P's and their value not to release them. Therefor, I will bet my left testicle that it was a Pacu!
