i can feel your anxiety. i looked for 8-9 months for an ornate in local stores. i almost starting jumping up and down in the LFS like a little girl when i saw this tiny 2" ornate in a tank.
hope you get a quality, healthy ornate! this is mine. he dont like coming out much, so its the best pic i got of him
She's a beauty! Yea here in iowa all i can find are senegals, i ordered the ornate from San diego.....seems like the midwest has a tough time getting them lol
