two of my red belly's have a rather strange with spot on their jaw..anyone familiar with this? please look at the pic. I have them for about a year and never had any problems with them, I recently moved the tank and cleaned it completly.. I love my babies and am a bit worried.

That is a common bump caused by it thrashing around your aquarium. Piranhas are capable of healing themselves, so leave it alone. I would suggest blocking off the sides with a black sheet of paper. Maybe even putting some plants to calm them down.
