When can I ID my serrasalmus

Guy I ordered it from had it under Black Piranha from Peru. Just want to make sure I have a good set up for the lil guy as it grows until I need to upgrade to a bigger tank.

Awesome pickup. Yes juvenile black rhom. I had one in the late 70's that looked like yours. I was not patient and gave it to a school friend. After seeing a full grown mature black piranha I regret giving it away.

Man how I wish that was the case! They all became the best of friends and they also began to tear up my plants so it's just Raptor (S.R) in the tank for now lol

You are definitely right, after a few searches on the web and the way he's looking now he's definitely a S.Sanchezi

A bit upsetting but that's okay. I'll probably order another one but at a few inches bigger so I don't get fooled again lol
