ID these two

[toxicfish]

Today I bought a new Cichla, and the people at the lfs are trying telling me it is an Ocellaris. The 2 cichla's I bought from them 3 months ago were said to be ocellaris also.......WTF!!!!!




First 2 pics are of the first one I got about three months ago, and the last 2 pics are of the one I bought today.

They both look like monoculus to me. The minor variations could be due to coming from different locations. The bottom pics look almost identical to my monocs.

they look like monoculus , but that last one looks a little different.

I was thinking that the last one might be an orino

The top looks to be mono,

But the bottom looks a bit like orino, im not sure.

Cool I wanted monos anyways.....

I got the two in the top pics when they were 1.5-2" and now one is almost 6" and the other is about 3.5-4". The one in the bottom pics with the gold spots is about 4", and also hasn't ate anything since I brought it home . But I think it is becuase the peeps at the Lfs only fed it rosie reds, and I remember them saying something abt them being wild caught/bred but I dont recall where from. And said that they where Ocellaris(I disagreed with them).

thanks for the feed back, more reply's welcome
