Need a little info

[bmxnick7]

ok so today i went to the lfs and i got some juvenille "PACU" supposedly, i put them in my tank, and they started to tare apart the goldfish i had in there, upon further investigation, i caught the little guys and examed them, they have teeth and are very fast with there jaws, the teeth are like little needles. i will post up some pics, but my question is there any way to tell when they are this small.

if they have sharp teeth, good to say that you have some Piranha not Pacu.
