I also agree, It's a compressus for sure - it has spots and bars, while rhombeus has no bars. Beautiful fish!

S. compressus doesn't have red eyes (its eye is bluish silver) like the rhombeus on the pic above, the rhom on that pic has a body shape similar to S. compressus but surely it didn't have bars when the fish was younger. Diamond rhom is just S. rhombeus with sparkle scales all over the body ...it's just my opinion :), Frank is the best piranha expert :)
Your fish is so beautiful, I love its shape and colors!

So it's not so easy as I thought :D How big is your fish now? If the eyes are reddish then they will probably turn red with time. I think that your fish is to young to have red eyes as a rhom, some rhoms don't get red eyes till they are 5-6'' long.
