found this bass in a store selling for $140 each, interested to know what it is because I plan to get one, just wondering what they would look like when they grow big? I searched online, its showing up as temensis?

they are wc with red eyes, and dots all over the body, store is selling temensis and this marianae all in one tank, so I know its not the common temensis, so is this just another version?

also for $140 is it a good price or too expensive? what is it exactly, worth the purchase?

Looks like a temensis to me too, but the spotting is coming in a bit early - I would actually question whether it's a hybrid.

Those might be the Rio Inirida Orinos going around recently. I think they were selling a little less than that but with shipping and store mark-up, thats not too bad. I would buy them without hesitation if I saw that at my LFS. Definitely not Temensis though.
