Cichla ID

[tydus]

Went to a lfs store and saw some cichla labeled as just "peacock bass" so I decided to grab two. I saw one with only two spots so of course I grabbed that one. They are also stressed since I've been acclimating them into their growout tank and they've just been released. Please let me know what you think they are.

LOL. That's awesome, grabbed these suckers for $9.98 each because I had a feeling they were orinos. They have 4 more left back at the lfs but I hope they really are orinos.

Thanks for the info. I hope my two spot is really an orino.
