Looks like it could possibly be a Black Piranha.

After reading this thread http://www.monsterfishkeepers.com/forums/showthread.php?t=232859 .

I gathered that it is impossible to come up with its origin from just photos alone.

yeah its a black piranha i was just wondering if its a xingu one because looking at its early body shape i think that may be what it is.
only a baby hehe
