What do we think it is?

[bassguy]

Grows slow as molasses, doesn't have a mono face or jaw or colors, can't see any spangling on his anal fin and was sold as a Orino

Also this is not from my Rio Yucao Jeff Rapps batch, there just in with him.

I thought some mono hybrid myself. I don't think pure mono at all though mouth looks shorter

Lol, I looked at the pics and it does look short in them, he just never gives me a true side shot.

Correct, that's his PITA brother that will only eat BW, won't even eat live, the only Cichla I've had that I could not pellet train.

hummm Interesting - Probably Orino just a real slow grower...Wouldn't be suprised if you start to see spangling soon...

As far as your other cichal that refuses to eat pellets... I have my own way of dealing with those guys... I feed them to my much larger pellet trained cichla...Just something to consider bro.. I call it the "toss" ...lol
