That would be a black pacu (Colossoma macropomum)

thankyou I didn't even know there were more than one species

@branta68

Black pacu and Red-bellied pacu (Piaractus brachypomus) are really the only ones in aquariums

Yeah that's definitely Colossoma macropomum

what makes you sure this isn't P.brachypomus?

Because Colossoma brachypomum have different head proportions, breast coloration and fin shape. This one is 100% sure C. macropomum.
