nice pick up, looks ocellaris to me, he looks like one of my ocells when he was a juvie..
exactly. plus, look at teh body structure. the only way thats not an ocell is if that fish is really bigger than 4 inches.

nice pbass btw

Im gonna say Mono. Hes showing alot of red in his fins allready and hes stressed still...His head and gill plate favors Mono but like these other guys said it could still be Ocel. Look at his eyes in a few days. If they start to show obvious red then its an Ocel w/o a doubt. No red, ide say Mono 100%. I wouldnt care what it was, cuz its a badass fish either way:naughty:


IDK my assumed LA boys appear to be Monos and there eyes are shinning bright like a RED LIGHT! So this may not be a safe Identifier. Also that whole hybrid thing comes back into play. But I belive only time will tell with all of our younger P's. And I don't really see any red in the eye's of these cichla.
 
Here's some new pics after he's settled in. he looks a lot better and i swear he's grown already! this guy is absolute pig and makes a mess everytime i feed him.

how do you guys keep your glass clean with pbass??? :nilly:
