What do you all think these are? I bought the first one as ocell but im thinking it is an orino. The second one it was sold to me as a kelberi but looks more like an azul.... opinions?

First fish is still too young to probably I’d could be ocell, second one is Azul not Kelberi.

That’s cuz they are lol

Just wanted to make sure. They labeled azuls as tems before

 

[TheWolfman]

To me azuls are the easiest to I D their traits show true from the beginning. The only thing that changes is they get the other two bars as they age.

Thanks. I'm sure I'll get the hang of it better again. Guess I was just hoping to find xingu

Agree on that!

@cigars saw this for sale locally and wasn’t sure if it’s a broko or just a nice ocell what do you think?

Looks to have more Ocellaris traits than Brokopondo, could be wrong though. There have been some brokos with more spangling though.

Ok thanks I wasn’t sure. With all the red on the anil and pelvic fins, I see the ocell traits your talking about but wasn’t sure with the way the back bar was broken up and the blood red eyes.
