These are Rio Meta Orinos, theyre FLOODING the market right now. Ive seen them sold as temensis, tem/orino hybrids, azul/tem hybrids, apparently now kelberi and even PLEIOZONA which had me pissed cause I got all excited before I actually saw the fish. Theyre everywhere right now for some reason. Regardless, theyre very pretty when taken care of and grown out!

What other fish do you have? From personal experience having a school of orinos can be rough on any easily stressed fish haha
 
Definitely Orino’s, not sure of collection point though. I don’t recall Rio Meta O’s having body spangling when juvie but could be wrong

Rio Metas are the the only Orinos that have decent spangling when small I believe, but thats just from personal observation. Im never 100% sure either but I googled Rio Metas to be sure and they looked pretty similar
