They look like bahia kelbs

Those look like Monos to me, but it could be kelbs. Many of the sp. look alike at this age.

What does the lfs have them labeled as and for how much? If they are sold as just pbass then they are probably monos. It is unlikely that the lfs will have kels labeled as monos accidently.

To me they look like mono/ocells the price should give you a bit of a clue also.

I know what they are labled as and what the price is. The LFS owner told me what they are. I wanted to get opinions by just the pictures.
