This is from back in '12. I bought them off a member on here supposedly Rio negro. Never had a chance to grow them out to adult. Ick hit the tank with something fierce and wiped them all out damn shame too

Nice man but different species of Orinos. These particular gold spotted Orinos have been brought in over 10 years. I also reived one of those Orinos that came in as a rio negro as well. Here it is now. I'll try and get a better pic of it today or tomorrow.

If you look in the last pic you posted there is no snake pattern / spangled in the the head and the throughout the body like these recently brought in gold spotted Orino. Nice looking Orino regardless of what its location is.

Don't be so gullible. VZ orinos are nothing new. Granted, they haven't been stateside in a year or two, but they're certainly not as hyped up as you guys are making them out to be right now.

I have a Venezuela Orino from a year ago. These are not the same ones. Everyone can say what they want. I've talked to a lot of people about these. I know what they are and am happy I was able to finally get one. Like I said the last time this particular Orinos were imported was 10 years ago. Enjoy them and grow them strong!

Previous owner said it came from Rio Meta, but I am not quite sure...

The Gold spot ones have Red Peck and Caudal fins, I dont see that on those other Orinos? They look very nice I have a chance to get some also but have no room Which I might have to change ande make some room as I heard these gold spot orinos get a real nice gold base color!!
