is there such thing as a red piraya?? i have heard people tank about maybe a color variant, but ive also heard alot of people say there is no such thing. i came home for the weekend from school, and my piraya is blood red. there is no mistaking it for a deep orange either. im jus wondering cuz i have never seen this much red on a piraya before wish i could get pics for yall
 
i have a few pics, but my camera for some reason doesnt show the colors all too well, i reallyy do wish i could get pics tho. hes about 6-7 inches

Matt you're thinking of Payara. He is talking about the Piranha species Piraya.

woops, thats what i get for not double checking.
 
If your piraya change from orange to red that mean is NOT a real red piraya. However there is a such thing of red piraya but you don't see it around. I can show you a picture with red piraya.

real red piraya has to be red from young to adult. not changing from orange to red.
 
its always been like this, this is just the first time i ever felt like posting, i would like to see a pic tho,
 
Here a picture for yellow and red. the bottom picture of yellow and orange mixed.
