This is the female I got from Jeff Rapps that destroyed my male over night. I will be replacing him shortly. This girl is not scared...always out...and ready to eat. My other female is 100% opposite and hides a lot but is just as pretty (if not more)

Also the last shot is of the teeth...the males you could see better...he had a mouth full of them orange things...more than I have seen on my festae.

These fish are so pretty!!!

wow!! shes gorgeous:) could you post a side profile pic please, wanna get a better look:)
 
I'll try....she just sits there and looks at me waiting to feed her lol. They are currently in a divided 55g until i get the 125 up for them. I have one other female slightly smaller and I am going to get another big male from Jeff probably next week.
 
ok lol, good luck with getting them paired:) I wanna see courting pics or vids:) how big are the females now?
 
I really want to see what they look like spawning. This one is probably 7-8" and the other is probably 6-7". The male im going to get from jeff is 7-8".

Side shot...and its fitting her eyes have that mean glow lol

Awesome looking female you have there. Can you give any examples of characteristics to look for to determine male or female? I have 2 Ornatum but they look identical. They are about 2", but when I got them at 1" they looked different. One is a lill smaller than the other but that's how it was when I got them. Seems like they are growing at the same pace.
