Pacu/Piranha hybrid?

Is it possible? I am picking it up this weekend.

Not to my knowledge...although there are species that might resemble that...Denticulata piranhas for instance.

Those guys in the labs can do a lot nowadays!
You made me curious and I'll be waiting for some pics!

I found a site showing a lot of Characins on one page.
Nice for comparison, check it out!

The taxonomy of them is not very close. I seriously doubt it's possible.

I hope you aren't paying very much.

I didnt end up picking it up since you guys say its not possible. Thanks for the heads up

Why would you want a pacu/piranha hybrid anyways? They're physically similiar enough that i don't see the point

Not close enough biologically for there to be viable offspring made from crossing them anyways....
