Cichlasoma Ornatum

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
I'm currently using NLS Thera A for all my fry and they seem to go quite well with it. Might try that with them and see how they do.

I would assume Jeff treats most incoming wc fish as well.

Looking beautiful already!!

I wish I could too.
 
The last Ornatum I owned I kept in 80-82 degree water and it grew from 4" to 6"in 5 or 6 months. I feed hikari gold sinking pellets and krill every couple days. I also do 50%+ water changes a week.

Just thought I'd share what I've experienced. They haven't been the slow growers I have heard they were. Also they haven't been any more aggressive than my Festae at these temps but they can defend themselves no problem.

For some reason I'm not able to edit my last post so I wanted to add that the 50% water changes are *twice a week* not once

Very cool. I'm currently dripping 50% tank volume daily. They really seem love the supply of fresh water

Awesome pick up, I debated grabbing a group of these guys for a while but ended up going with a fire eel for my growout instead.

Really interested to see their progress here in the next few months; keep us updated! :)
 
Thanks so much! Really excited to see how they turn out as well. Definitely not shy at this point. I have them divided in a 5' 120 and they are always out front.
