Big thanks to Rich at Infinite Aquatics for getting these in! :D

This little trio of Orino are my first pbass. I've only had them about 4 hours now and I really think I'm catching the cichness! :naughty:

They downed a ton of worms within minutes of being in the tank. I took this pic before I fed them, so they're not showing the belly. It's going to be crazy seeing the progression of these little guys over time. :headbang2

Very nice! I was thinking of picking some up again. Does Rich still have a bunch?
 
Right on, how many you got Ben? I'm already thinking about getting more, especially after browsing the stickies in the pbass forum. Orinos are hot like fire.

There weren't that many left in the tank my trio came from, but there was plenty more in another tank that was higher than this tank.

Very nice. Are they from Rich's?
How many batches of orinocensis are out there?

Yeah these are from Rich's, I don't know anything about the number of batches out on the market.

Not right now...I used to have some before and been thinking of getting some to grow out so I can have some mid/top swimmer with the Polys. Orinos were definitely my favorite that I kept. I was also thinking of some Temensis that I saw at a lfs too.

Thank you angelo, it's nice to finally be a pbass keeper. I never really understood the hype, but I get it now after seeing these little ones swimming around. They are active hunters, brave, right at the glass looking back at you.

Did you pick up any from Rapps'? It's nice to have different variants.

No I didn't, but I agree it would be nice. I was originally only going to get one, but I figured if they turn out really nice and I like them, I wouldn't be pissed at myself for not getting more.

Any idea on what variants rapps and Rich have? I saw a lot of nice types of orino in the pbass threads, I hope I get the blue dorsal with green body color kind.
 
nice! way to start off the cichness :D IMO, rapps and rich's orinos are from the same spot, the Rio Meta in Columbia.
