Right on. From rio Apure Venezuela.
Not an expert of picture taking, but IMO it's important to compare actual fish color to the surrounding, ie: this orino's red cheek to that flower pot.
I did try to decrease the contrast a little bit, but can't hide these orinos' beauty. I still think Video is the best way to show a fish's true color.
my kelberis cheeks are the same color, it's an intense golden orange.. what you think is color distortion on lower orinos back is the fishes fine sparkles in its scales. dslr on macro setting and some good lighting will pick this up with the help of the flash. i bet these look even better without the flash and in person. i had fish almost identical to these quite a few years back. i wish i never sold my two, their colors looked like the above picture at only 5-6 inches in length, they got along with each other extremely well and they looved pellets.
bump for pics people!!!
i think with all the pics so far i think its accurate to say that nobody can ID an orino based on what it looks like. cant say it looks like a venz or columbian because there really are no distinguishing traits betweent the two.
in fact, i would say the only so-called "difference" between venz/columbian orinos is the man-made lines that divide the two countries. other than that, i would say ALL orinos (with the exception of the bold rio negro orinos) are Cichla Orinocensis sp. Orinoco, as this river is where all orinos come from. many smaller rivers branch off from this system.
anybody who says they think its venz or columbian based on a pic is just blowing smoke

isn't rio orinco a smaller river that is formed off of rio negro? actually ive seen a couple very "rio negro" look like orinos that were from orinoco. infact they are in the stickyd id sheet.

Got this info from Wikipedia
The Orinoco is one of the longest rivers in South America at 2,140 km, (1,330 miles). Its drainage basin, sometimes called the Orinoquia (especially in Colombia) covers 880,000 km², 76.3% in Venezuela with the rest in Colombia. The Orinoco and its tributaries are the major transportation system for eastern and interior Venezuela and the llanos of Colombia. However, since river navigation is declining in every country, many of the old waterways along the Orinoco watershed are now an obstacle to land communications rather than a useful commercial route.
Major rivers in the Orinoco Basin
Apure: from Venezuela through the east into the Orinoco
Arauca: from Colombia to Venezuela east into the Orinoco
Atabapo: from the Guiana Highlands of Venezuela north into the Orinoco
Caroní: from the Guiana Highlands of Venezuela north into the Orinoco
Casiquiare canal: in SE Venezuela, a distributary from the Orinoco flowing west to the Negro River, a major affluent to the Amazon
Caura: from eastern Venezuela (Guiana Highlands) north into the Orinoco
Guaviare: from Colombia east into the Orinoco
Inírida: from Colombia southeast into the Guaviare.
Meta: from Colombia, border with Venezuela east into the Orinoco
Ventuari: from eastern Venezuela (the Guiana Highlands) southwest into the Orinoco
Vichada: from Colombia east into the Orinoco
In Comparison to Amazon river:
The Amazon River of South America is the largest river in the world by volume, with a total river flow greater than the next eight largest rivers combined. The Amazon, which has the largest drainage basin in the world, accounts for approximately one fifth of the world's total river flow.

, variations exist in locales, but not countries. Remember that research paper about sp. orinocensis??? Matter of fact, genetically there are only 3 variants:
1. rio Orinoco,
2. canal casiquiare ( "the" connection b/w rio orinoco and rio negro, and
3. rio negro.
well, great info, but from that map the rio negro branches into 2 rivers, then to all the rest. but in this map the orino looks like its an independant river system with a very small connection point. anyhow, i dont know how diffrent they could be yet, but i think that rio negro and orinoco orinos are very similar maybe a little diffrent but beyond that i am not possitive about. i guess we will find out in a couple months haha.
