very interesting. i just got done watching a documentary made by killer instincts and they say the cariba are also known as the red belly but the cheap pirahnas u buy in the store are called koshu. i dont have a clue how its spelled but the way he said it thats how u would pronounce it. in the wild other pirahnas from the serra family will come share a meal with the cariba. they showed about 100 cariba feeding on a animal and then came a bunch of irratins to help eat it, They also mentioned that in the wild most pirahna dont get much bigger then ur hand. pretty neat stuff. If ur interested in the video u can puirchase it at www.amazon.com.
 
WOW You just stered a pot .....
----This thread is about to self distruk----......
My small self opinion . Caribe have a (Black ear-if you you will) And
a stander RBP Dos NOT , Also body color and where they origenate from all play a factor to me . So A Caribe and a "STANDER" RBP ARE Different
in my opp exc..... :popcorn:
 
ya thats what i always thought. humeral spot=cariba. but the common rpbs u buy in a store really dont have much red at all when they get larger unlike the cariba which has a very red belly so what he said does make since.
 
yup there diffeent, they dont even come from the same river systems.
