Serrasalmus eigenmanni, or Eigenmann's Piranha, is a lesser-known species of Piranha. They exhibit a typical Piranha shape but are distinguished by unique body spots and patterns. Due to their size and predatory nature, they require spacious tanks and should be kept cautiously with other fish. They are best suited for experienced aquarium hobbyists who can provide stable water conditions and meet their nutritional needs.
