Really nothing, if it is a Grow-out Tank then yeah African Butterfly and Congo Tetras, Upside-down Cats. If it's a Lifelong tank then you need to get a dimension of 48"X32"X24" for the ornate as 24" estimate usually getting to 18". Otherwise really your GPH should be 500gph.

As for tank mates for Ornates STICKIES

 

[peewee]

arowanas are a perfect tankmate if you have a big tank and they are similar size.

I'm an angelfish guy myself. They use all levels of the tank and have so many patterns and colors.

Buuut I also have NTT's, festivums, and pleco with mine lol

bad mistake many people say they are compatible but even a 6inch sen can eat one. my AFBF was eaten by a 4'' Lap and a 7" Sen before.
