Any idea on ID?

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
I mean the price doesnt mean anything since I payed that for one at the same place and it ended up being an Azul haha thanks though

Price doesnt necessarily mean that it will be a farmie, but it definitely is a clue. An azul juvie will have that definitive solid black bar running down its lateral plane. This is the same for xingu, temensis, pinima, intermedia, and maybe others as well when they are tiny. If I saw a bass with that solid black bar for $12 i would definitely jump on it.

The pictured bass could possibly be monoculus, ocellaris, kelberi. I would say most likely monoculus or farmie for $12. I highly doubt it is ocellaris as there are only a few true ocellaris. They are usually from guyana, french guiana, and brokopondo. Brokos are $90 or more depending on size and if they are WC or not. Same with a quality WC kel, they are usually $100 or more. Also the tails on the pictured bass do not look all deformed like the F2 Bahia kels.
