Here you go:
Cichla Monoculus
Cichla Ocellaris:
Cichla Orinocensis:
your Peas are a toss up in my opinion. Everyone claims to ID Peas at a young size with great certainty, when for the 3 commonly available varities (shown above) they are all very similar at this size. The angle of the pics makes the fish a tad misleading as well..
the red in the eyes signifies ocellaris , as Mono's don't usually maintain the red eyes consistently until older...
the slope in the head (as shown on the right cichla in the roseline pic)in addition to red eyes (as they do pop up, just not consistently) signifies mono's...
Finally, in the same pic of the roseline the cichla on the left is showing the appearance of rosettes...siginifying...you guessed it ...Orinocensis. WHile some Mono's do show rosettes this is more common for the Orino's...
My opinion is tossup beteween Orino and Mono, leaning towards Orino
lol...
YOu should also take into consideration that Orino's are in season and currently VERY available
True Ocellaris aren't as common in the hobby as people think...lots of times they are FL Peas (MonoxOcellaris) or farm bred boys...usually Mono's too...

Nate77 has some Ocellaris with stupidly good gold rosettes. And the body shape def. ain't orino at 5-6" size. I think fish like this are mono/ocellaris crossbreeds that share the mono rosettes with occellaris shape. But just my opinion.
Honestly I think they're farm boys but who knows maybe you'll get lucky and get some orino..
