S. compressus doesn't have red eyes (its eye is bluish silver) like the rhombeus on the pic above, the rhom on that pic has a body shape similar to S. compressus but surely it didn't have bars when the fish was younger. Diamond rhom is just S. rhombeus with sparkle scales all over the body ...it's just my opinion
, Frank is the best piranha expert Your fish is so beautiful, I love its shape and colors!

Thank you mate. I love my fish.
Mine have a red eye but the camera doesnt capture it well, but the red come with smooth, by the way i was talk to mr frank about the photo he say it rhombeus then he show me another rhombeus with bar mark they indentify as compressus species couse a bar mark
So it's not so easy as I thought 
How big is your fish now? If the eyes are reddish then they will probably turn red with time. I think that your fish is to young to have red eyes as a rhom, some rhoms don't get red eyes till they are 5-6'' long.
