Finally getting an Ornate!

[Steve_C]

Local shop I know well I just called a few mins ago, I know the owner well and call him weekly to see if he has anything "cool" each week lol. Just hung up with him, he said he has a really nice 10" Ornate. I have a 120g 4x2x2 that I have been trying to figure out what I want to stock with, now I know He's holding the Ornate for me till I pick it up Sunday. He's have the whole tank to himself.

Will post pics of him once he comes home

Nice! Always good to see new fish.

Should be nice, ornates are probably the best patterned polys out there

Congrats ornates are definitely one of the nicest looking

He's home and doing well all settled in already. He's currently in the first of the pair of 4x2x2 tanks I have so right now he's got company with my pair 10"-11" Del's, trio of 6"-9" Sen's and my Dat and Geos but eventually once I get the 3d bg done in the other 120g 4x2x2 then he'll have that tank for himself to grow nice and big in.

Got to say I love this guy. Still love my del's & sens' but the color and patterning on this ornate is just so beautiful

Nice.I'm not the biggest bichir fan but the ornate and the delhizi are the main species that I like the most.

That's one great looking poly man. Congrats on the great addition

Thanks. These guys are so addicting. Only got into polys about 7 months ago and already have six of them now.....one a month isn't bad right? I almost bought another there today. he had a really cool looking Teug there today that had such a cool looking orangish color to him. Was a little guy, about 4" max and $75 so I passed on that one today, but I may have to get one of those down the road.

I'm pushing my new poly addiction onto others now it seems. My nephew just recently lost his last two remaining cichlids in his tank last week so I got a pair of 3" sen's for him to put in his tank now.
