Looks like hybrids? The one in the 3rd picture, has amazing markings! I can't wait for him to grow up and see what he looks like.
 
The largest of the 3 shows none of those cool markings and also more of a goldish tint, the medium one has the most cool markings and bright green tint, and the smallest ones 3 stripes are almost always faded to the point you cant see them unless you are looking close and he has a bright green tint also.

My monos seem to change back and forth between faded to real green. I believe it may be due to PH levels as this seems to happen around the time i do my water changes. They sure look the same as mine,except for that one.
 
Not real sure that it has to do with ph levels I do water changes every 2 days and my ph level never changes could be a nitrates thing tho for your fish maybe? Mine seem the brightest when i walk up to the tank and they get all happy and start begging for food lol
 
They look like Mono's, but that green tint looks great, my Mono's dont have that, and there about 7 to 8 inches.........
 
I called the shop I got them from and he told me they are monos from a breeder in florida so I guess the mysterey is solved lol not sure why I never thought to call n ask? Maybe I just figured they didnt know since they didnt specify.
 
Lovely Pbass.
