Abstract The mosaic pattern of double cones of retinas in larval and adult piranha,Serrasalmus spilopleura, was examined. Samples from two habitats in the same reservoir, characterized by different light conditions, were examined. The same square pattern was found in all sampled retinas indicating that, for this species, there is no apparent relation between the patterns of double cone arrangement and environmental luminosity.
