cichla orinocensis

what they look like as adults varies, but typically you'll see lots of greens/blues, red eyes, and three distinct gold rings. There are some pictures in the sticky ID thread above.

don't think they are orino's. you can see the gold starting at the last rosette going around the black of the tail. looks, to me, Mono's.

hmmm they kinda look orino, but the body shape looks a little different. who knows, give them a month or two and youll know for sure. you were asking earlier what an adult looks like...
