the only thing ive found close to these guys is of this cichla orinocensis that supposedly hasnt been around in awhile.

I think you have a very nice speckled ocellaris. The head shape seems a bit off plus the 4th spot is something I've not seen on an orino before. But I do have to admit that adult pic looks awfully similar.
 
thanks guys. yea im so damn confused with these guys. somone else told they were mono but i dont think so. ive had a mono and these guys def look different.
 
What do you all think the last pic is? On that web site it says it's an orino? Could I have possibly an orino cross with an ocellaris? The pic don't really show how much green is on that guy either. I also have a Rio meta in the same with it a tad smaller then the guy in the pic. Shape wise they look the same just the markings differ. I was thinking it could be some variant of orino that maybe hasn't been seen in a real long time. Thanks for the info guys. Keep up wm with trying to figure this guy out!
 
Kelberi/Ocell.......Whatever it is, its HOT

Thanks man! I didn't want to post pics till it was this size so it was easier to tell. I have bahia kelb as well smaller then this guy and he still hasn't shown his colors yet so its hard to compare to him. Do u think this is an uncommon occell or kel?
