ID this Peacock bass anyone?

[DIDYSIS]

I was told its an Ocellaris Bass any thoughts or ideas? I am thinking of buying, listed for 40.00, about 5.5inches. I know allot about these fish and have a large tank so I am just trying to get ideas and thoughts from anyone thanks. Also if I got another is it best to get more of the same type or any type of peacock bass? THANKS

also I hear this is a rarer type any thought? seems to me not really as lots of people have this type.

ya I am going to look at some local fish shops and see if anyone has a good batch of PB, I would like to get 3-4, grow them out in my tank a good bit then have a good reason to get a really really big tank

Looks like a nice occel. NOt rare...but hard finding a nice non-hybrid one. Keep cichla in groups of 1 or 3 or more. You can keep diff. sub species together. But try and stay away from temensis unless you understand their super incredible growth rate and extreme size.
