thx for the replies..these are beautiful fish..i saved them from a petstore..they all had ich on them..2 out of 3 are cured now after a couple days of medication..i dont think they are wild ones due to them not eating every guppie in sight..so if anyone has advice please let me know..i am new to being a peacock bass owner..and i do want to grow these beautys to b healthy and beautiful..

in orinos, the line doesnt go throught the tail at all or not all the way....in monos/occels it does....also from head shape and markings but that takes times
