I had a couple small orinos. Whole tank community got ich. So you may be right. Watch out if they start flashing. Mine did not exhibit much in the way of white spots. Pbass section has a slew of posts on feeding and getting them on pellets.
These babies can pass 20". Good luck!

Yep they do better in small groups 3,5,7 and put in 2-3 oscars a little smaller then the bass makes them les shy and shows them what's food
