Quick shot with my iphone of the male ornatus I got from Jeff. I will take some better shots of him and the 2 females once I get them in there tank and settled. They are in a divided up 55g right now...will be a 125.

Very nice male. After seeing you guys with bigger Ornatum, I wish I would have got a bigger one too. Mine are up to about 4" now though so hopefully by this time next year, I'll be showing mine off too. :)
 
Looking really good. Do you have any problems when it comes to feeding them? I kept these two years ago and the ones I had were picky eaters, so they had to go.

I know what you mean about picky eaters. Thankfully mine are little piglets.
 
No issues at all...one is kinda skittish still and only eats when I leave the room but the other two woof down NLS and earth worms. I had issues with the 1.25" ones I got...but not being picky...but 4 out of 6 of them bloated and died. I got over confident in feeding I think and gave them 1mm NLS...but wasn't giving them and spurlalina flake. I am guessing they were too small for the 1mm. The big guys get 3mm NLS sinking....
