In a large tank in larger numbers (7), they get understandable larger

Undoubtedly true. The fish I mentioned were in a fairly small (4'?)
tank and there were only three of them.

Come to think of it, since I wasn't interested in fish at that time, I
had only her word, and their general appearance, to say that they were
pirhanas.

IOW, maybe all should disregard my previous post on the subject.

lol, but there is enough real variation in experiences to sometimes allow
seemingly contradictory appearances. I think the expression is something
like : "the only thing fish-keepers can all agree on, is that fish need
water, and even that has its exceptions" ;~).

To the uninitiated, the common red belly Pacu

might pass as a red breasted Piranha.
