Tambaqui
Colossoma macropomum
Principais diferenças: Tambaqui generally grow larger, have a more rounded body profile, and typically possess a more pronounced adipose fin. Their teeth are also molar-like but often more robust and less distinctly 'human-like' than some Myloplus species. Juveniles of Tambaqui often have distinct dark spots on their flanks, which may fade with age.
Red-bellied Pacu
Piaractus brachypomus
Principais diferenças: Often confused with Myloplus, Piaractus brachypomus (also known as Pirapitinga) has a more elongated body shape compared to the deeper-bodied Myloplus. Juveniles have a very prominent red belly, which often fades in adults. Their teeth are also molar-like but can be slightly more pointed than those of Myloplus.
Piranha
Serrasalmus spp., Pygocentrus spp.
Principais diferenças: Piranhas have distinctively sharp, triangular, interlocking teeth designed for shearing flesh, in stark contrast to the crushing molariform teeth of Pacu (Myloplus). Piranhas also tend to have a more robust, less compressed body shape in many species.
