Look like red-belly pacu to me.

What size tank are they in? You are aware that they get HUGE and require 200 gallons+ as adults, right? Red Belly Pacu

agreed. red bellied pacu. They need an extremely large tank due to their potential size. Ive seen them kept in HUGE tanks with giant pink bellied gouramis and tinfoil barbs.

pacu is a vegetable eater i think lol, directly opposite of a piranha. just be aware

200 gallons is pushing it. Really they belong in at least 500 gallons, an indoor pond is a great idea. If you look around on Monster Fish Keepers, they have lots of threads with rbp's in big ole' indoor ponds. They get 3 ft!

Yeah, the whole 200+ thing was meaning that the absolute minimum is 200 gallons (from what I read online on various sites)...as with all monster fish, the bigger, the better.
