Ocellaris, mono, or hybrid

[herman moorr]

Got these 2 fish about a month ago when super small. Guy seemed positive these are ocellaris as I’ve been looking for them for a while in my my area. But as they are growing I’m having some doubt and I’m not the best with mono and ocellaris Id. Any thoughts on these?

Looks ocell.

Thanks. So what’s the giveaway with mono and ocellaris? I look at pics of both but they usually look similar

I have all the same questions.

Monos will have blotches on their body and will have a dull coloration. Ocellaris can have blotches on there belly as well but will have Brighter colors and more of golden coloration. The two fish posted are ocellaris.

Isn’t there a body shape factor as well? I’ve always heard mono look pointy vs ocellaris

Monos and all ocells have the same body and head shape. Kelberi, azul and tems all have different body traits.
