Just wondering what your opinions are as to what species my p-bass are..they are really coloring up nicely now and starting to get some size on them...I bought them at ~ 1" back in Sept. '06.

Possibly due to the gold speckling around their dark spots are they Orino?:naughty: What do you think? thanks.

i have a pbass that looks real similar to yours and peeps on here id it as a mono. i think colombian. has lotta gold speckles like yours, but not too much around the bars... so maybe yours is an orino.. but i think by now if it was an orino it would have definite circles and rings. wait for the experts to chime in.
 
How big is it now? The body shape and gold edging to the body spots leads me to believe it's an orino, but it's hard to say without knowing exactly how big

They are a solid 6"+...

Here's a better picture of the most colorful one...they are tricky to get decent pics of...as soon as they see my camera, they go :nilly: ...:irked:

I don`t think they`re orino, more like wild caught mono. orinos have more bright gold shine on the whole body esp. around the black markings. but looks good.
