I dont think so the ornate is a lil bigger and he is very peaceful to everything besides rosy reds

Well I hate to brake it to you, he's not as docile as you think he is.
Of all the upper jaw species of bichirs, Ornates have the highest tendency to eat tankmates, in my experience.
When you turn of the lights they switch to hunting mode.
