Hello everybody :)

Just joined yesterday after finding this sight while searching for info on a desease 1 of my Ocellaris or Orinoguensis (never could tell the difference) seems to be suffering. Looking foreward to being a member of this sight and discussing anything worth knowing with all other lovers of peacockbass out there! Anybody housing peacocks are definately monsterfishkeepers, so this sight is definatly for us! I've attached a groupfoto of my peacocks, 1 monoculus, 2 orinos, and 2 ocellaris. Never could tell the difference between the 2 last mentioned, so any tips would be greatly appreciated. Might still be somewhat juvi in colours, although they're getting quite big. never measured em, but the foto is of them in a 720 liter (190 gallons) tank. My guess is roughly 35-40cm (14-16inches).
Looking forward to sharing experience with you all
Regards from Norway!

There is a significant difference between the Ocellaris and the Orinocensis. If you want to see some truely Magnificent Orinocensis, then you need to check out HULON's threads. His are spectacular and he takes great care of them... he also has a beautiful Guyana Ocellaris that will help you compare the two physical features.

Welcome again
 
Can we get individual shots of each cichla?
