After doing alot of research (p-fury and other pages) yesterday to confirm what species of piranha I have, I am pretty sure I have a red belly (natt). But just to be 100 %positive what are the main differences between a red belly and the caribe? Cuz I have seen some that are kinda close in appearance. I asking mainly because of tank size. I do have to say this site is THEE BEST for all you could ever want to know about your P's. Rock on guys!!

Thanks Frank, you saved me posting from the link.

Another different characteristic of a Caribe is their humeral spots right behinde the gill area. Some would call it, "spotted shoulder piranha".

as stated the humeral spot is a dead giveaway of a caribe.

The black humeral spot is the most evident difference!
