Nice :fro:
Looks like a variant of A. orbicularis.
Just think about it.

yes i had the three alone in a 120, they seemed to get along very well. I wanted to breed them but I did not have any luck.

The store I got them from had like 6 of them but they were so expensive I could only afford 3.

I'm not totally sure what type they are.. you guys might be right though.

They are very nice,and to me,they look the same as Xingu Os.
Everybody wants to call Xingu Os A. crassipinnis but it is way out of the type locale for that species (Bolivia and far western Brazil) and doesn't fit the exact description.IMO,Xingu O is an A. orbicularis variant.

Either way,Xingu O or Bumblebee O are both considered "O Holy Grails" among O lovers and "must haves". So having 3 beautiful examples,count yourself extremely lucky (blessed :fro: ).
Just think about it.

Could be because you have 3, it's usually a bad number to have

Some clarification please. I really just noticed "were" and "had" Do you still have them, or what happened?

I ended up selling them since I could not get them to spawn, the guy I sold them to had a 220 to put them in and he thought he could breed them.

He paid a large amount for them $150 a piece.. I did not want to sell them but he made me an offer i couldn't refuse.
