Finally found a nice TRUE ocellaris! Just picked this guy up from another member, beastly 14" ocellaris. he originally came from Snookn, so he's most likely a Florida wild. incredible bright colors. has a nice blue dorsal which ill try to capture in later pics. and gotta love the blood red eyes.

I wouldn't say true occelaris, it looks more like a hybrid, but it is a very nice looking fish.

^ yeah true, this is what i would consider a "TRUE" ocellaris, but he's close enough for me :)

I love that picture, such a great capture of the true beauty of a true ocellaris. People just don't give these fish credit. I haven't even seen a true wild caught ocellaris in forever.
