New to peacock bass

[jedi]

Hi,
im new here. just bought 10 pcs of orinos from a lfs but suck at identifying them. all of them are about 5- 6". started eating food fish since the day i got them back 3 days ago

read thru some of the ID stickies but cant seem to digest all the info. appreciate some comments on their IDs.

I am no expert and those are a little small to really get a good look at what they are but if i had to guess not orino but mono or ocell

orino's have a more dimond patter on there sides
someone like always (good thing) will correct me if i am wrong

They look good regardless of what they are

dont thing they're orinos, they usually have a bit more space between the spots. But reguardless they look great!! what size tank do you currently have them in?? what are they eating??

 

[gangster]

look more like mono's

Agree they look gd but guess i got ripped off.
their eyes are red and i tot thats a sure trait of orinos. Thats why i decided to get them.

Like to clarify, monos have occiptal bars as juveniles?

dont know about calculations in gallons but currently housing them in a 2' x 2' x 2' grow out tank.
Going to go into a 6.5' x 2.5' x 2.5' in future. They are currently feeding on tamban fish. dun think u have it in the US but its a regular food fish in my part of the world
