You might want to go exchange your stealth heater

Probably mono/ocellaris

mocel mono + ocel = hybrid mocel

I think pic 6 is an ocell. other 3 are monos. easier to tell when they grow a bit more. nice pickup.

i take it pic number 6 is the fish your friend gave you it appears different not enough to distinguish what it is the vertical bars are interesting to say the least

thanks for the replies....so what is the differens between monos and occel cuz they both look the same to me

Here is a picture of an adult mono. Notice it still has 3 stripes and has a very green body color

Here is an adult ocel

notice the third stripe has formed into an "ocel" and the bright red eyes. You can also tell them apart by slightly different head shape and dorsal fin but you just need to see a lot of them

All pictures are from the net I don't own these fish
