I dont know about you guys but I've always enjoyed growing my monsters from very small. Just picked up two ornates from my local lfs. They are about 3cm. Right now i have them in my shrimp tank, probably will lose a couple rcs to these guys...but oh well.Will upgrade when they are bigger.

Fed them for the first time last night right after getting them earlier that day and they started eating small chunks of frozen beafheart. What else would you recommend feeding them at this size?

A couple pics...little blurry, i'll put some more up later. Couldn't get both of them at the same time. Top two are pics of the bigger one, bottom two are the other guy.

3cm that's TINY...

Have fun with them! They will surely love living in your shrimp tank...
 
I would feed them some market shrimp and cut up smelt, I would take the beef heart out of the diet.
 
Nice buy, i love buying polys as well as other fish when they're tiny and watching them grow.
 
NIce pick up. They are so cute when they are small.:)
