Oscar's are like a box of chocolates, never know what you will get till you eat one, err they grow up. The fry hide me colors change drastically as they grow.

I always love the big old eyeballs they have when they’re small.
Love the look, can I ask where you got them? I'm hoping online so I can check out the info. on them. Scientific name and catch location if possible? I imagine you're asking about the high yellow, black freckled individual. Reminds me of my old O which I've been looking to get for ages. If it is like my Old O here's a pic of a 10 inch individual.

very good and interesting looking oscar, as about mine just at lfs
Can I ask the name of the LFS as they may have an online shop? Can I ask what they were called when you bought them? Crassipinnis? Orbicularis? Mikolji, 'Rio Orinoco', Colombia, Peru? My apologies for the question. It is just a species I have been after for awhile and haven't been able to find.
The markings are so beautiful. Is that what they called Orinico oscar? is the Orinico oscar and Mikolji the same? Im so confuse.
I wish I could tell you as I don't know and have been looking for their like since I made the mistake of selling them. I bought the pair from a local pet store and he knew nothing about them simply calling them chocolate Oscars because in his tank they were a dull brown. Within a day or two in my tank they took on the coloration pictured. I went back to him and again he had no info. he didn't know if they were wild caught or captive bred or anything about them.
I'm also unsure if the Orinoco and Mikolji are the same or different species. I haven't kept up on all the different Oscars. I know that the Mikolji comes from the Orinoco river but I don't know if they're a distinct species from what has been sold as Orinoco previously or if this is them just getting a scientific classification rather than being reffered to very generally as Orinoco. Hopefully
Kevin@TUIC
will chime in and help bring some clarification on the matter.
You are lucky to find them in your local store they are also rare like bumblebees and based on the body pattern it is Orinoco. Im really confuse between Orinoco and Mikolji because I have seen Mikolji pics they have different line pattern I guess both Orinoco and Mikolji came from Orinoco but they are different. This picture that I attached is tag as Orinoco and has the same line pattern with your oscar. I hope to have them too.
