Heres a small update on the wild Peru's I got from Snookn awhile back. None of the Orino's I got in the same order survived. This is only one of the 3. They arent even 4" yet and they allready eat pieces of shrimp and silverside, as well as pieces of Massivore, sinking carnivore, and sinking bio gold pellets. ;)

The spangling around the bars kinda had me scratching my head too. But the deep red in the tail and pelvic fins screams Mono. I went back and looked at the juvie pics from the Mono I got from Rapps a few years back, and he showed alot of bling around the bars too. Though that wild Peru was very very mottled, bars broken up alot. The bars on these guys are very well defined...they may not be true wild Perus....

This is that fish from Rapps a few years back at 4" and then as a 15" adult. (RIP). Quite a difference allready.

No need to tip toe around me...im a full grown bear. If these turn out to be farm Occels then well...they will make nice punching bags for my 16" Orino in a couple months :naughty:
