Hi all,
I am new to peacock bass, can someone advise on the Difference between mono and ocell.
Was trying to differentiate but still can't figure out, they look the same to me.
 
It is very hard if not impossible to tell until 8 inches or so

ocells will have red eyes and more of a copper color

monos will have a very dark dorsal fin and more of a green color

there are more ways to tell but these stand out the most to me
