Just picked this guy up today. He's a little over 6 inches from nose to tip of the tail. He is currently in my 75 that I was going to put my Gold Saums into but they will have to wait until my 135 cycles and then this guy will go into that one.
My new Ornate

Thanks! he's a curious little guy, whenever I walk up to the tank he comes out of hiding to check me out. thought he was hungry so I dropped 2 pellets in but he ignored them and just kept watching me.
Very very nice I always liked the darker ornates better

Ya I really like the dark colors as well, I cant wait to get him into my 135. it shouldn't take long to cycle as we moved the sump without emptying it, any ideas on tankmates for this guy? I was originally gonna go with an African cichlid tank but I don't think that would mesh well with this guy.
No deff not they will get eat ornates have one of the more aggressive attitudes out of uj and lj bichirs .... A whole lot of ppl get rid of them when they hit a certain size because they tend to eat tank mates and also been known for killing fish bigger than it .... Not sure whst to tell u to put with it I only mess with and research a few fish ....
Gar
Oscar
Arowana
Bichir
Bowfin

I read that they are aggressive to their own kind but im guessing this is false info? Oscars don't really do it for me, I had a big albino when I was a kid. he was a cool fish but it just doesn't tickle my fancy anymore. any other cichlids? some larger SA?
