Why don't you want ocellaris? I would $80 is a good price for that size.


is ocellaris good ? so many type of them.
but if those are kelberi i think 80 bucks is really good too.
Bur the problem is i didnt get it at those size haha...

i got it when there's no green or much markings.
got them when their like 3"
now their almost 6-7"

i just added 4 wild temensis in ... adopted them from a fishing pond.about the same size as my biggest pb as well.. i was about to buy them off a breeder for 10 usd each earlier... but thinking of saving money ...
so adopted this 4 ... and it gonna take t hem some time to get adapted and has their color grew back.. look kinda pale to me.. sad
 
What made me think kels is the amount of yellow in the base color and the amount of spangles on the fins. If you can see spangles on the anal fin you will know for sure

I am 100% they they are not monos

But I guess they could just be nice ocels only time will tell
 
thanks southpaw :) just read about your dead feeders lol.
I always fed my pb dead feeders.. nothing wrong with them.

i still think ocell has red eye iris....
so far none of my pbs kel or tem has iris.. well tem is really obvious at 6"-7" well i think their obvious from 3" already XD.. one vertical bar is all it takes.

im still waiting eagerly for my kels to show spanglings on the ass fin. haha
geting kinda overstocked atm for my big tank.. gonna need to be removing some fish...
 
Kelberi. Ocells do not have the fin spangling and aren't as gold.

Farm bred Kelberi , maybe from Asia

i went to another lfs today ,
they know this one that i bought from
and was told they are first batch of kelberis from taiwan , farm breed.

nobody know what it was mix with ...but is sure from kelberi tree.
and thus the price is only 60 usd.. lol..
can only hope for the best...

i saw the one from the lfs today and his kelberi is nice.. .thou not as perfect as japan one.. and those cost 200 usd.. and almost pure gold with lots of dots... thou not the top notch but still among the top and it wild.

wow.. wild pb is sure nice

my temensis is wild caught but their color is faded...
gonna take some time to get them back ;S
