There she is!

The inside of the box is 16" and she's maybe a fraction over.

How do you know you're done drip acclimating? The fish tells you.

She's still a little stressed

But adorable none the less.

Time to explore

Checking out her new tank mates

She showed interest in the new green sunfish. Interest as in, it's the same size as a piece of silverside she ate before coming home. So said sunfish has now been moved to the koi pond to grow. Otherwise, everyone seems to be getting along.

It's almost lights out, so expect a bunch more updates once she's settled and colors up.

Looking good now. Was noticeably stressed! Never seen them that loss of color. Good to see the ornate settling in.

Yeah I was amazed too! She looked like an albino from how pale she was. I'm glad shes settling in too. I still expect her to get much darker though due to the black substrate.
 
Wow she's beautiful and doesn't even to appear shy nice!
 
Great looking fish, I was surprised as well at how stress washed her color was. On that substrate the color will be awesome in no time
 
I lost my 16" Ornate yesterday. They look a lot alike. Weird how one goes out, another comes in.She should color up nicely on the black substrate. What are the other tank mates?
