What Type of Cichla is in My LFS?

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
1st, 3rd, & last picture looks like an Orino to me.
 
I don't know what anyone else would call it but the 2 spots that's on its body is a circular shape compare to the 2nd pic which they are more oval. I'm just comparing those pics to what I have now but they might be Kels too. The 4th one looks like a Kelberi but it's not easy to tell the difference at the size because I had bought 2 Kels and both look the same at 2" but as soon as they got bigger, one just looks completely different. Jimmie mentioned that it was a hybrid.

Oh, and how much are they going for and what is your LFS labeling them as?
 
Here's my Orinos. 2nd pic has my Temensis along with a silver dollar.

My LFS is telling me that they are ocellaris and has them priced at $29.99 each. I don't trust what they tell me about the species because they are not that good at that kind of stuff, and really don't seem to care much about it either.
 
Any experts wanna chime in on this?

They "could" be ocells as well but I wouldn't know that. You should ask gangster or cigars. Those two guys would know. I'm surprise they're not chiming in.
