I'm still thinking orino. The black line does not extend through the caudal fin. Some go a little bit into it, but not through like on monos, ocells, and kelberi.

that actually helped me im looking for a pair nice to be able to differentiate

This is true.

Looking at OP's pbass, wouldn't the rosettes be more circular at that size it's at? The orino's I posted was @ 3'' and stayed circular.

Edit: Added picture....
Here is a orino with a black line through the caudal fin.

No, not always, I have seen juvenile orinos with vertical bars and sometimes even diamond shaped "bars" on their sides. These are not ocell's, if they were, the gold around their bars would be less apparent and would COVER the bars on the fish. But these have gold spots around their "bars", which points to orinocensis.

Think your going to have to upgrade that tank soon w/ the Arowana :S

But nice fish!

Longer black bars. Longer then mono's at that size and to long to be orino's at that size to, as kelberi's.

that was my initial thought...the gold spots around the rosettes seem too orino to me

Good question, I was wondering the same thing. Could also help determine the species (depending on the quality of the lfs) if it was an online vendor they should definitely be able to help you
