Just an update on the ornate. Hes doing pretty good eating 2 or 3 times a day (flounder, nls, omegaone, massivore, and shrimp pellets) im really happy with him doesnt hide much. Spends most of the day perched ontop of the heaters top suction cup. At night hes really active. So far very cool fish.
The del is pretty much insane and acts like this all day.
Nice! I really envy folks that keeping polypterus, I don't why but I lost interest with them after few months. I think they don't have the intimidating look to me or because I keep my tank quite heavy drwiftwood, plants and these just hide, get lost in those jungle plants all the time.
