I still have an Ornatum left and here it is

[balton777]

I think this is the male, he killed the female a while back. I got them when they were only a couple of inches and grew him out.












H's a gorgeous fish with vibrant coloration and a great personality towards me. I'm very happy to have him. For size comparison, the Bocourti is about 12"TL.

At end of the vid, the pair of GT's eggs just hatched and they have a pile of fry in the corner. You can see them if you look closely.

Very Nice Bro I believe the males have brighter reds in the fins like yours plus more spangling and brighter yellows. im not for sure on the sexing technique but either way he is beautiful
