To be honest, even a "light" Ornate I don't think is that pale. Might be a Platinum. Try putting him in a tank with some substrate and see what happens.

ok ben I've already put the orna in a dark tank

im still doubting it. like ben said put it under black gravel, if he changes, not platinum

yes he will change.when he hit 20cm up the marking on his body will disappear but the pattern on his fin still the same,when he hit 30cm up then the pattern on his fin will not disappear but the color will change into a white color

That infact looks exactly like the JUVI PLAT ornate i saw in indonesia some time ago.

every juvi plat orna will look like this

Ok guys time to JUMP in to this tread.

When it comes to ornate bichirs, their are two kinds of platinums. The one that looks like that in the pics and the pure white. Patterns on the body fades as it grows. In the market they call this as the low quality platinum ornate. Yes it confuses other people when they think about plat endli and plat sene and compare it to plat ornate.

Some plat ornate still shows the patterns. I actually prefer this type of plat ornate than the pure white ones.

nice info bro ..I've never seen a baby or juvi of plat orna with a pure white like the plat sen or plat endli.it always hv a pale pattern on his body like the picture above,i only see a pure white plat orna in a big size 30 cm up..the mutation is very slowly

Pretty special fish. How big? How long have you had it/growth rate?

Looking forward to more pics down the road of this fish!

thanks he 10cm big.he came to my tank 3 days ago..i will update the picture later

cool ornat plat or not
