Buddy of mine caught this fish. They released orino and temensis down her back in 84. The temensis allegedly couldn't handle the cold. I've been fishin for them for 4 years and haven't caught a tem. This one has me stumped on what it actually is. Anyone know?

It's your typical Fl hybrid. A good looking one at that.
 
mono/ocell hybrid's. They will differ in markings depending on location, but that's what 99% of them are. The orinos and tems didn't survive the cold.

Don't quote me on this, But someone ( will not mention the individuals name ) "apparently" started releasing Kel's and a few azuls into a specific area. Guess we will find out this year if they make it and start colonizing.

Agreed with milk man. Mono/ocell but carries the ocell traits more on op's pbass picture.

Here's another Florida hybrid.

Id like to be in the loop about this if possible
 
I agree Florida hybrid. I haven't heard anything about releasing, but I know someone that's breeding kels and azuls in ponds in Florida.
