I overpaid. I know it. I don't care. I've been looking for o's since I first found out about bass. They're my favorite too, at least of the ones available in the hobby. :P

They're finally comfortable in the tank, which means they're literally fighting over tilapia and smelt. I've never seen such aggressive feeding! It's awesome!!
 
I stopped in and you missed 2 that were absolutely stunning stupid amounts of spangling on body I'm debating on running back by and grabbing it tbh I just have a hard time dropping that kind of cash for a unknown orino especially at 80 bucks a piece I know u didn't pay that for them but I didn't even pay that for the Rio dolce kels I have coming even shipped

They all had crazy spangling when I was in, which is what caught my eye in the first place. But they were all also underfed. I convinced myself of getting them because of the size and the fact they're already eating frozen food (I had them feed smelt in the store before I bought them). A 6" orino on frozen foods, to me, is worth $50 including shipping. Plus the benefit of them being big enough to not need their own tank.

Yeah there's two in a pack of 5 of your size that are very thin they haven't had a decent meal if any in the last week to 2 weeks but there were two in a different tank that were awesome

Yeah I saw those too. They were awesome, but tiny and skinny, at least when I saw them. If they weren't so small I would've got them. But I figured they all came from the same batch, so mine should spangle up like that too
 
Yeah those ones seemed to be eating better than the big ones cuz they were filled out when I was looking at them that's what I was thinking also so u should see yours recolor out in a few days u know this mang! Lol
