Difference between Peru Mono and common mono

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
I always thought it was color. I have some lake diamante monos right now and their color is impressive compared to what I have had before. No pictures of the past though. I will try to get some pictures tonight for you.
 
first off there is no common mono you will notice cpr mike listed his monos as lake diamante monos the difference is collection point yes there is a difference in coloring but that is in every cichla even the same collection point differ in markings and coloration thats what makes cichla hard to identify for most
 
im not really sure what mine is but here he goes. if someone knows what c.p. he may be from let me know

Here is a good example My Peuvian pair and my mutt Mono which was brought as an Ocell. The one on the far right top is the mutt and the Male Puru on the top left. The female is facing forward right below the mutt. The Male is in the first pic. I do believe that there are 5 different sp of Mono's not sure about that but I know you can tell the difference.
