I have been e-mailed by some of the buyers regarding the questioning of the species I sold. I have been dealing with this supplier for 3 years and I have always received Orinos all the way up to 7". Most batches have had the Gold in them, but a few have not. These were sold at 1-1.5" in size and everyone knows it is almost impossible to Correctly ID Pbass at that size unless you own the parents or have seen the parents. 3 years of getting Orinos from this supplier, why would I doubt this batch.
I am not a Pbass expert by any means, but as far as I know, Monos have three vertical bars that start at the dorsal and extend to the lateral line of the body and stop. The head is not as elongated as Orinos. You can clearly see the bars extend past the Lateral line and a very elongated head shape, not to mention the vibrant green body.
