I'll post pics once they get some size on them. so the ID will be 1000% accurate. but as of now headshape and body shape i am saying mono or ocell. at the end of the day though bro that situation is over and done you know. Who knows this could turn to out be a really nice mono or ocell
 
On another note. I would like to say how i take care of all my bass at this moment. I will break down each tank.

45g Growout - 3 orinos and 4 (from aquascape) 4 clown loaches and a bichir. Right now just because of size of these fish i have them feeding on white cloud fry. Just dumped in 400 of them. Once they are at a bigger size i will start pellet training them.

60g Growout 13 xingus, 2 azuls, 2 kelberis, jardini, a flagtail and a bichir. Currently feeding Cobalt predator pellets. Today i intorduced them to pieces of tilapia. Tomorrow introducing them to cut of pieces of frozen shrimp. With this tank i want to feed them a variety of foods. One day pellets only. Next day frozen foods etc.

300g 2 kelberis, 1 orino, 1 mono, 1 azul, pike, pleco and i forget what cichlid it is. Currently feeding Northfin Carnivore and frozen tilapia and shrimp. mix it up through out the day for them.

45g i do a 50% wc every other day
60g i do a 80% wc every other day
300g i do a 50% wc every 3 days

So my fish always have fresh water and best foods. So thats some of the care/feeding i do. have seen better growth and colors pop by doing this.

Got new cichla coming in tomorrow morning. Moved fish around and got more tanks set up then planned lol. 2 unknowns i got from a LFS lost them during the night somehow. Had moved them to a 20g since i put the Unknowns from Aquascape with my orinos. I believe i had a faulty heater in the 20g. But lesson learned. Anxious for the new cichla tomorrow morning. They are already pellet trained to. Stay tuned fellas. Pictures will be posted tomorrow.
