Is this a Pacu?
Saw it in a tank today. The coloring looks different from what I've seen online.

Re: Is this a Pacu?
Its body type definitely looks like a pacu, but I've never seen one with red spots.

Re: Is this a Pacu?
This could be a Piranha. Pacus and Piranhas are closely related. The two main differences are in the teeth (very large for the Pirahna} and their diet (Vegies for the Pacu and Meat for the Pirahna. It could also be a Black-fin Pacu. It has spots like your fish but they are black.
