Red Bellied Pacu (Colossoma bidens)

These cousins of the piranha are not only challenging to keep, the also can grow extremely large.

Red Bellied Piranha (Pygocentrus nattereri)
Three-Lined Pencilfish (Nannostomus trifasciatus) ...

the red bellied pacu is a close relative of the piranhas, but without the sharp teeth and the aggression. However, care should be taken if interacting physically with the pacu as their powerful jaws can crush human bone.

Young Red Bellied Pacu about 3 inches in length.

Some species that come to mind: Tin Foil Barbs, Red Bellied Pacus, larger varieties of Cat Fish and maybe some similar sized Jack Dempsey's.
