Here is my new black diamond gold piranha! It's going to be a gift for my boyfriend, who's setting up a new planted 55gal.

Just picked him up today at a local store.

Camera doesn't do his looks justice. His color is awsome!

What do you think of him?...any name suggestions?

thanks for the scientific name. It was called a black diamond gold piranha at the store and I've seen other websites with the same name.

yep. Thats a maculatus alright. If it was a rhom the head would be shaped differently, and at that size he would already have a red eye. Oh yeah and your fish is gold and has the distinctive tail band of S. maculatus.
 
you seem to be an awesome girl friend! name him pete sampras after his father
