The Piranha Alternative

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Suprised no one mentioned Pacu's - red bellied or black. Their scientific classification is identical down to subfamily - Serrasalminae. Sorry -I have no idea what their legal status is in CA.

silver dollars are also in the subfamily serrsalminae and in fact may be closer to piranhas than pacu are. also pacu grow too large for even most of the tanks on this site hence why they were not mentioned (i wouldnt keep a single pacu in anything less than a 600 gallon tank)
