Ornates are lazy, lights go out then it will become more active. They are one of the least active birchirs.

Agreed. I hardly saw my Ornate, but if i did it was either at dusk or dawn.
my ornate hides every time I come near the tank. Mine is over 12" now. She doesn't freak out, just goes where it's harder to see her.
same goes for my ornate. During feeding times with the light on, its very shy. But when I off the lights, throw in a few pellets and wait a few minutes, turn on the light, the ornate would be picking on the other bichirs
