Venz...I think where ever Nick's supplier gets the orinos from are from different places in S.A. just my guess because the orinos I got from Nick's batch are from two different rivers or parts of different rivers. One of my Orinos is for sure a Sp. Venz for the spotting characteristics they show and only one doesn't show it and is only turning dark green. My Captive bred one is the only one with dull colors. The rest of them are Cichla Orinocensis Sp. Venz. Its the same as bOOsten aUdI's old orino from Venz.
ok after about a month of growing out mines from the same batch i'd say they are Orinos too. when i first got mine from previous owner they did not have any gold rosttes. but after a month of pumping with market shrimp and beef heart io can see the rosettes beginning to form. If i didnt have 8 Orinos already. I would be all over these.
:j/k: Good luck with the sale though.
