I am ready to order some peacock bass but..... With all the subspecies, and different regional differences I am having a little bit of a hard time. I know I want some occels and some orinos.
The first picture is of dieselmacks orino. I can find orinocos from Rio Meta, Orinos from columbia ect. ect.. What do I need to look for to get a deep green beauty like this.
The second lovely picture I think is an occelaris... I want something that will eventually have red eyes red on belly and lower fins. The owner of this fish is selling it at what he says is 2 feet long.
I realize I cant tell when they are babies what they will look like all grown up but I would like a little help if possible. I just built a 700 gallon tank that is looking awfully empty.
