Captive bred ornate question

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Definitely possible if you do it right. I would just suggest getting them small and growing them out. Be careful with the endli as from what I've seen baby endlis are very cannabalistic. From there just make sure you don't add any really small UJ with the endli. I wouldn't be as concerned with the ornate about eating tankmates, but just keep in the back of your head that if its big enough to fit in there mouth it could end up in their mouth.

I keep a moke who is about 6" and not very thick with my biggish LJs (One lap is 14" the other is about 12") bigger one is cb the smaller is wc. They all do great together. My big lap gets nippy because she thinks she is the boss but it can definitely be done. Knock on wood ive never had a poly that has eaten any tankmates whatsoever.

Alright I will try it should I get all the others first then get one in a grow out tank until he's uneatable then add him with the others and see how he acts when he gets bigger
