9" Female Ornatus Pics

[elting44]

I only thought female because of the orange color and the constant baring in the pics. Mine isn't orange and only shows his bars when spawning. But I don't have him in a community tank setting. That one also has some blue spangling on the side like males so idk.

Maybe it is a male that is responding to the ornatus, putting on its breeding dress?

Do you have more pics of the festae?

I will post more pics of the festae when I get home. Far as I know it's a male that is what I purchased it from jeff as .

Beautiful fish...how long have you had them

From jeff I'd say it is a male then. It's the color that threw me off really. Sorry to muck up your thread.

That's either a female festae or the best looking male ever.
