Female Ornatum (the killer)

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Yes they are gorgeous :). You have a beautiful female :) Its got to be exciting for you to watch every day...
 
Well cross yalls fingers. The tank that they are in I had to move today. They did fine until going back into the tank once I moved it. The lager female that is pictured in this thread is swimming nose down tail up. I dont know if maybe some air got trapped when I moved her from the 35g can back into the tank. I hope it just passes. :(
 
Just went and checked on her. Lights off was sitting on the bottom...lights on she seemed better but still light in the rear. Hope she's doing better. I also painted the back and bottom of the tank black. Don't know if that's messing with her...it's not messing with the other one.
 
She's beautiful, I love the red teeth!
 
Shes all good today...swimming normal and trying to get at and kill the V. argentea I have in one section of the tank...what a scare lol.

Once the tank clears and they settle in I will get some more pics. Before the background and bottom were not painted and the tank was sitting on a light colored shelf. Now the bottom and back are black and it looks like her colors will be different.

Ohh and she is 9" and the other female is 8"...I measured while they were out...I didn't get it exact since I wasnt trying to stress them anymore but thats pretty close to what they are.
 
nolagt, I am glad to here that you didn't loose her :)
