Colours vary from silvery with orange undersides to almost completely black. These common fishes have deep bodies, saw-edged bellies, and large, generally blunt heads with strong jaws bearing sharp, triangular that meet in a scissorlike bite.Piranhas range from northern Argentina to Colombia, but they are most in the, where 20 different species are found.
The most infamous is the ( Pygocentrus nattereri), with the strongest jaws and sharpest teeth of all. Especially during low water, this species, which can grow up to 50 cm (about 20 inches) in length, hunts in groups that can number more than 100. Several groups can converge in a feeding frenzy if a large is attacked, although this is rare. Red-bellied piranhas prefer prey that is only slightly larger than themselves or smaller.
Generally, a group of red-bellied piranhas spreads out to look for prey. When located, the attacking scout signals the others.
This is probably done acoustically, as piranhas have excellent hearing. Everyone in the group rushes in to take a bite and then swims away to make way for the others.

Typically, true piranhas are limited to three species of Pygocentrus: P. Nattereri, and P. Historically, however, other classifications have expanded the group to include four genera: Pristobrycon, Pygocentrus, Pygopristis, and Serrasalmus, based largely on the single row of sharp triangular teeth all members display.
Still other classifications include additional genera, such as Catoprion, or exclude Pristobrycon because that group is not considered by all ichthyologists to be monophyletic—that is, descended from a single common ancestor.
