lol....hmm.... what color are his eyes? how big is it? it doesnt show normal characteristics that an orino would have..hint of blue in fins/tail, shape, eyes....ect. it looks like he forming some nice orange/red pattern on his belly. it may be a mono or even a mix.. i still think it is to early to tell.. it is deff going to be a gnarley looking fish though.

His eyes are black and hes about 4-5 inches. Thanks for the info. i will keep you posted as he gets bigger.

 

[bOOsteN aUdI]

hes a mono then.. i didnt know he ws that big? what are you feeding him?

 

[tiny28]

i agree its not an ocellaris, i dont see any ocelli mark. it looks like a monoculus or a orinocensis. as stated let it grow alittle and we will know for sure.

feeding him small feeders and bloodworms
