He's definitely unique and his development looks different from a rio meta.....try to find the old thread when jose first got his rio negro and see if they look similar.
I posted once before about this guy being rio negro and everyone told me no, just another rio meta. He is different looking then most rio metas I seen. Doesn't really have that blueish tone on his fins and the 3 circle ocellets on his side all connect as you can see in the pic. So I'm lost at what variance orino this could be, either way I love it's unique patterns!!
