got 5 peacock bass, need help id with ich???, and suggestion! (pic included)

[kevincao]

hi, i got 5 peacock that looks like mono for $100 each, at aqua pets i think....(i always forget their name) owner's/GM name is Ricky. they are about 6.5 inch big, i would like to know if the price is reasonable for this type of mono, and what are they? also one of the mono got white spot on the eye that looks like ich, yet none of the others have any on anywhere, just that one spot on the eye, i put salt already, still there. what can it be and what can i do about it??? i have included in the picture, thanks.



looks to me like 90% of mono and 10% of orin lol



what do you guys thinks???



the "ich look alike" eye

and now on with the pics

 

[superleggera123]

100 percent mono, no ich

 

[kevincao]

thanks! what should i do with that white spot on the eye though?

 

[superleggera123]

cloudy eyes usually happens to pbass when they come into a new tank
if these are from dragon mississauga
they are occel btw

 

[kevincao]

no not from bill, and it doesn't seem to be cloudy eye, is just that one big white ich looking spot

 

[superleggera123]

they are fine bro
they seem to look like occel upon closer inspection
make sure u fatten them Up
gratz

 

[kevincao]

thanks, for sure they'll get pumped, just training them off feeders right now (second day lol), would take week or two, but once that's done, is time to pump!!

 

[Kolewolf]

Definitely Occels!! Look at the vertical lines and how they don't go all the way up to the dorsal. Super got it right on second glance. And no Ich either.

Why would you pay $100+ for a fish (let alone 5 of them) without knowing what kind it is? Seems a bit silly to me.

 

[kevincao]

says mono on the glass, i just want suggestions here. and like all others, i have a basic idea what they would be, just want to know what other thinks what type it is. i still think is a mono

 

[RTG_Gerry]

Usually lack of red eyes means mono. Nice fish but nowhere near worth a hundred bucks a pop, imo.

 

[kevincao]

cool, thanks. saw your post on the tem, they sure grow hella fast what tank were you growing them in at first? i'm thinking getting 2 orin that big lol

 

[RTG_Gerry]

cool, thanks. saw your post on the tem, they sure grow hella fast what tank were you growing them in at first? i'm thinking getting 2 orin that big lol

I started the tems in a 6 foot 125, but only because I didn't have a smaller tankn available.

These are definitely Occelaris. Monos would have dark black patches all over the body, as per below:

 

[kevincao]

hi, what do you mean by black patches? you mean the abdominal blotch area? if is that, not all monos has blotch area. but true monos definitely would be the first two on your picture there. the first one that's a very nice mono!

oh and ocell has blotch too

 

[carcrazy]

They look like my 4 pbass, I guess I have mono's too. My pbass eat a lot of shrimp and are starting to look a little crowded in my 320g tank. I hope you have a big tank lined up for them in the future.

 

[kevincao]

cool, maybe i shall convert the living room to a living tank

IS NOT SILLY. IS STUPID.
He loves using that Stupid word on other people all the time.

 

[JOHN B]

Convert the livingroom to a living tank. The last time you ran away for a week. When your dad disallowed this fish tank in your bed room not a livingroom. LOL. Also, Bill is in Dragon King in Scarborough not Dragon in Mississauga. That's Steve.

Get ready for big fish fast with big mouths. I had to sell mine off at 20"
