Hey everyone,
We are new to this board and wanted to post a few pics of our 2.5-3" ornates. We picked them up from the LFS two days ago, and they have already settled in very well and are grubbing on pellets. We are using Hikari Marine A (which is basically the same as the Carnivore pellets, just in a smaller form). The little guys are quite active and are already starting to approach the front of the tank to beg for food :)
These guys are a lot of fun. We are new to bichirs, although not new to monster fish of many types, both fresh and marine (arowanas, cichlids, puffers, knives, gars, piranhas, eels, lionfish, triggers, anglerfish, octopus, cuttlefish).
Sorry about the poor quality of the pics--I just snapped a few quick shots. Better pics are coming soon :)

Thanks, everyone! Glad you like them. Here are a few more shots now that I have done some more work on their tank setup. They are very active and seem to enjoy lurking and cruising around in the plants.
