Orino Peacock Bass?

[gokuson4]

Does anyone know if there are many different species of Orino Peacock bass or do all the Orino's turn green? One in question is the "Cichla orinocensis from Rio Meta?" Thanks all!!!

there's only one species of orino, but there are different variations depending on where they come from. they can be green to gold, have blue to black dorsal fins, red or blue/green lower fins, circle or diamond shaped markings.

Then where are the green ones from? What regions that is??

it's too hard to say. most orinos come from the Orinoco, which is a massive river system going through colombia and venezeula. orinos from this general area can be any color with any patterns. there's really no way of telling what it will look like.
