I am looking at buying a piranha from a friend that he had ordered off of aquascape. He said it's a sanchezi but he also said red spilo. They are different fish correct? I would like to know which fish it is and the different requirements they need. Thanks

So I currently have a wolf fish in a 75 gal. It was sold as a black but it may be a mala 4.5 inches. In that tank there is a catfish,megalodoras irwini, a Jack Dempsey 4.5", and 4 silver dollars. In a 55 gal by itself I have an odoe pike that is close to 4" but is obviously much thinner than...
