Today I bought a new Cichla, and the people at the lfs are trying telling me it is an Ocellaris. The 2 cichla's I bought from them 3 months ago were said to be ocellaris also.......WTF!!!!!
First 2 pics are of the first one I got about three months ago, and the last 2 pics are of the one I bought today.

They both look like monoculus to me. The minor variations could be due to coming from different locations. The bottom pics look almost identical to my monocs.

Cool :thumbsup: I wanted monos anyways.....:grinyes:
I got the two in the top pics when they were 1.5-2" and now one is almost 6" and the other is about 3.5-4". The one in the bottom pics with the gold spots is about 4", and also hasn't ate anything since I brought it home:( . But I think it is becuase the peeps at the Lfs only fed it rosie reds, and I remember them saying something abt them being wild caught/bred but I dont recall where from. And said that they where Ocellaris(I disagreed with them).
thanks for the feed back, more reply's welcome:)

Its a juvenile C. Ocellaris. Those black bars will kinda fade and only the round black "eye" will be brightly surrounded by yellow color!!!
