The spotted piranha is a predatory fish from the piranha family. It lives in the rivers of South America and is distinguished by dark spots and stripes on its silvery body.
The spotted piranha differs from related species in its special pattern of spots and stripes on the body. It is important for nature because it eats weak and sick fish and helps maintain balance in the river ecosystem.
Immature form that undergoes metamorphosis before adulthood.
