They look like there from Florida the one's that are from Guyana, surinam, and French Guiana have more of a rounded body and no spots in between the bars

Unfortunately he stopped shipping around a year ago. I had a hunch these are Florida ocellaris due to them only wanting live for about a month. One I’ve fully converted to cut fish the other has taken so frozen krill but has been rejecting cut fish at this point. Still waiting him out hoping he continues to see other fish eating and eventually get the idea
 
I know its tedious at times but hang in there ocellaris to me are the hardest to convert to non live food. Here are some old pictures of my ocellaris from Guyana im looking all over for these fish and no one has them. But yours are really green there some of the best Florida bass I've seen
