if thats a rhom (it looks like a rhom except the pigments go a really long way down, only seen the on blue diamonds personally, but I'm sure other rhoms exhibit that too) then the species is S. rhombeus. There's no way to tell you what type it is without you knowing the river it came out of. Even then it doesn't really mean anything. We're trying to catalog geographic morphology, but there's really not a lot of information out there.

If I had to guess I'd say it's a rhom.

rhom= Serrasalmus rhombeus there are other serra species being kept in the hobby.

pigments= spots

I have no idea. The only adult rhoms I've seen with spots like that were blue diamonds, but the spots were usually larger. Also I really haven't the foggiest what "type" that is. The p looks stressed and the pics aren't all that great. Somebody else might be able to help.

$100 bucks? What size is he?

well i spent 80 on the ten small RBP and traded that plus twenty for gas to drive to save him... he was held with some other kind of piranhas not RBP in maybe a holding tank about 5galls big... he is in a 55 for now till i clear my 75.... everytime i turn on light he tweaks out crazy.... maybe he is stil settling..

and he is close to 6inch id say 5 5 1/2 maybe....thanks
