Orinos? Don't think so...

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Yeah... IMO I'd have to say they aren't Orino's. I got a batch of Orions smaller then these and they defiantly didn't have a black line through the tail like these do. I say Mono / ocell. Crappy deal, it's happened to me before as well... I ordered five Tems and when they arrived I opened the bag to find five Monos.. Kinda ticks me off when the companies that are suppose to specialize in fish and do it for a living can't even tell the difference between sp..

To be honest mate I think with Ross its a genuine mistake. The fish he ordered in were labelled wrong.
Although I did point this out I dont think he believed me lol

I would still order from Ross in the future, as I said it was just a mistake.
 
Looking at your signature I take it neil got back to you mate :)

Also the Monos I got from Ross are Occel so your babies are most likely Occel not Mono (if they are the same batch!)

Yes he did, sent the order form today. They may turn out to be ocells but I'm thinking hybrids even now. I will still order from ross in the future like you as he has been really good up till now.
 
They are Occels mate here is a pic of mine after 3wks of Massivore

Yours look very ocell though I'm never 100% with ocells until they get red eyes, I'm sure yours will. I've grown out hybrids before and these already look similar. They have the cheek marks of a young mono but are already getting the red tint in their eyes of a ocell. Their stripes are like most hybrids/monos, a diamond shaped dot rather than a full length vertical bar like a true ocell. The best case scenario is them being true monos.
 
Mine do have a red eye sometime lol

Ive grown hybrids on also and niether the monos or occels I have look anything like them .... so far ha
