heres a little better pic of the Ornatipinnis, still blurry:


I had a little accident with the Ornate 2 months ago...
I was doing the regular water change and letting the water run out of the tank through a garden hose...
Suddenly the water stopped flowing, I thought it had just filled with air so i took it to a sink and blasted (cold) water through the hose to fill the hose and get it running again, but nothing!
I finally figured there must be a plant or something clogging the hose so i took the hose connector (the one i connect to the sink to let water run back in after i let it run out...) off the end and found my tiny Ornate trapped inside. :(
It was lifeless, but i got him out, had to brake a dorsal spine doing it.

The result:


I thougt it was dead for sure, but after holding it in the water for a few minutes he started twisting around, took a video of the poor thing:

After a few days he got better and started swimming normally, and just now the broken dorsal spine seems to have straightened out. :)
 
its a palmas for sure... which doesnt suprise me... ive found that palmas palmas and beuttikofferi r more readily available in europe then pollis
