New to Polypterus - Substrate Advice!

They say cb ornate looks way better than wc, pattern shows more, i just dont know why cb ornate dont have deffects like a cb endli or cb lap.

this is great to know! Been reading some about the cb defects lately.
Also, is there a reason I never ever see wc ornates?
true. Been wondering this also!:)

I dont recall any of my cb having defects but the two defective polys i've had were both wc lol go figure
 
I personally like the look of a WC ornate over the CB ornate. It's just I'm never lucky enough to find a WC ornate that isn't shy and loves to eat. :(

Nah I didn't take any while I was there, but he's on mfk and was selling that an the rest of his stock, I'll see if I can find the thread

King-eL's 25"-26" Ornate. He got it in 2013 at 12". He says its CB but I think its WC.
Yeah that thing is awesome. I'm usually not a big fan of ornates, but I like that guy

I gotta say, I'm very very happy with my new Moke and buettikoferi, both species shot up my favorites list. One awesome thing I've noticed about the moke is that her pattern changed a lot. All of my other polys maintain the same pattern but the shading shifts on my dark substrate, but the moke's dark spots have gotten bigger while the shading is about the same. And I never really cared for gold dusts, but now that I have her I love her. gorgeous little fish and swims very gracefully. I just wish she didn't hide as much, but their new tank won't have as many nooks3.JPG 4.JPG
