Cichla Orinocensis ID and Discussion

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
this is a great read....
 
I don't know if anybody is stil looking here but I post my question anyway.
I have 5 Orinocensis of about 2 inch. Most of them have 2 prominent spots (besides the tail spot).
The third spot, that should be in the middle of the 2 body spots is missing or with 2 orinos's only very vague,
and only at one side of the body.
My question is; will the 3 spot appear as they mature, or is this already an indication that there probably will
be only 2 spots at adulthood ?
I would like to hear from anyone who raised Orino's.
Hopefully this nice thread can be reanimated.
 
Does anybody have an answer for my question above ?
As you can see in the picture below, the Orino on the left has a vague spot in the middle of the body.
The two on the right have no spot at all. I wonder if the spots will appear when they mature or if this already
is an indication that there will be only 2 spots when they are grown up. Who knows ?

I have had some orinos with 2 spots. Think it is just genetics to a point. Collection points...
 
I would like to hear from someone who had small Orino's with 2 spots, that turned out to become 3 spots when they had grown up.
I wonder if that could be possible.
