And before you know it he's a baseball bat with fins! I love my ornate, she's a great fish. Best of luck with yours.

My new ornate and delhezi immediately went nuts over blackworms (my ornate is very shy, and so far thats the only thing he has eaten). Every fish I have (including the senegalus, my first bichir) love the worms, and you can throw a bunch in and let the fish pick at it. Blackworms are a pain to keep; I clean them every other day, and use a pipette to weed out the dead ones and leaches (I spend about 1 hour doing that everytime I get a new batch).
