So me and my homie tydus went on a fish run for old times sake and ended up with an impulse buy, we found these cichla fry and was wondering on an ID because they dont look like typical LFS hybrids. They have a prominent horizontal line that does not go past the tail. Pretty sure they might be orino but just want a positive ID just in case we got real lucky and they are tems whats your guys opinion. Last pic is them in the LFS first three are them in a growout, they were just labeled peacock bass with no specifics

Could be, melaniae, tem, azul, or pinima.

I'm leaning towards orino and temensis but whatever they turn out to be I'll be happy because I know for sure they aren't the typical lfs hybrids. :D
 
Regardless of what they are, we paid only $9.98 each so we pretty much got a steal. :D If they're tems that would be pretty awesome since we don't get other cichla around here too often.
