question on scientific name of red bellie pacu
Posted 02 September 2005 - 01:23 PM (#4)
I have always learned that the scientific name for the redbellied pacu was piaractus brachypomum and for the black pacu it was colossoma macropomum.
Edit: just dis a google search on colossoma macropomum and this are just 3 of the many links that stated black piranha:
