New Ocel. Bass

[mynheers_a_pint]

Hi all,

Had a nice day today collecting a new Bass. I've had a Mono for a while but thought it was about time I got another. He/She is only small (12") and looks even smaller compared to my Mono and, well, everything else in the tank. But he/she looks lovely;

they're not great photo's, I know, but does anyone care to confirm if he/she is an Ocel. ?

Thx.

Looks like a Farmie to me mono/occell X. Nice though

I had a horrible feeling that might be the case...

I had the same problem bought 3 young occells but they grew into farmies.

I guess the only saving grace is that it was very cheap..!

defo farmie - dont think anyone imports true occels anymore do they?- they must all come from the same place?

Its really annoying, dont understand why they would hybridize them as Occels and Monos are better looking/coloured than the farmies!

dont get me wrong some of the farmies dont look too bad - one of mine had more spangles than my kel but the overall colour (greyish green) lets them down - i have bought 3 different batches of 'occells' for them all to turn out the same dull colour. the upside is they are cheap. you get what you pay for.
