The columbian exporter just said they are wild oscar, with no catch location identified.
I feel that the pattern looks a bit different from other wild oscars,like RedTail Bahia, or Bumblebee
When I got them, they were just 3-4cm size, but now they are about 9-10cm with more developed pattern.

That pattern is very different from the wild caught one I had that was from Peru. I cant give you much info except the wild caught one I had was the most viscous fish I ever had.
 
Can't help either but that pattern is really nice!
 
To me it looks like an Orinoco but that's just speculation
 
that is a crazy pattern, I have never seen anything like it on an Oscar, its almost spots like a uaru. weird. on another note, not to derail or anything, are wild Oscars supposed to be more aggressive? I just picked one up
 
Those are some very impressive looking juvenile Oscars, love the markings on them.

from my experience and everyone I spoke with they are more aggressive.
