I posted some pics of these two recently, but here is a better pic of the one that I bought as an Ocel. I hope it's a Mono:

The back one is Rapps 3rd batch Kelberi.
 
i dont think its a mono. could be ocell or hybrid
 
In the last thread I did on this fish, the consensus was that it was a Mono and not an Ocel. I guess that just reinforces the fact that Cichla can be hard to ID at a small size. I guess I don't really care what he is because I like him. The Kelberi is smaller but is the dominant fish. It chases the Mono/Ocel around all the time. They use to hang out together, but now they are on opposite sides of the tank most of the time.
 
I have a hard time tell Monos and Ocells apart. Looks good either way:D

its a bit hard to tell, it doesn't show the very specific attribute of either a mono or ocell. Just a question, is there any reason why you want it to be a mono rather then an ocell? I think its gonna look sweet no matter how it turns out. If it ends up being a ocell are you planing to sell it? I know some people just wanna know for the sake of know and I understand Im the same why, so Im just being curious.:D

I was just kinda hoping Mono because I really like Monos patterns as they mature. I like this fish either way though, so even if it ends up being an Ocel, I think he's a keeper for me.
