My lfs has 4 cb cichla ocellaris small they eat pellets, they also have 2 wc much smaller and only eat bloodworms.
Is there much difference when they are full great grown?

The ones in the first pic look alittle rough. With any small cichla, make sure you keep the water hot, like 85 degrees and feed the hell out of them so they can put on some size. Once they hit 6" or so they become bullet proof but before that size they are fragile.
 
Should see no major differences in the two when they get larger. I personally would pick up the wild caught ones up first. That's just me if I knew that the bass was wild. As for the captive bred bass, I would like to see the parents and see if they are wild or F1 and so on.
