Mono's have two gold horizontal lines that goes from the top and bottom of the first black rosette passed the third rosette.



Ocell's, they have the attributes of a mono but instead of the horizontal lines, they have the gold rings around the black rosettes.

Middle fish.

Not all Ocells have gold rings around their black rosettes. My 2 larger Ocells don't have the gold rings.
