Stick around man!! Someday, there WILL be a COhazard baby ornate super sale!
and other species too hopefully.I want to breed polypterids and develop high quality strains to rival the beautiful pieces over in Japan. That's a long term goal of mine I don't talk about much

Thank you! He was very actively exploring the tank last night which is nice since ornates are usually shy, but he started to get aggressive. I can tell the gender by the size of the anal fin. The male has a thicker, wider anal fin, while the females are always thin and slender.
Check out post #19 in this thread: Polypterus Primer
very nice ornate cohazard! great pick up! i'm surprised they can be sexed at this size. maybe they can, its been so long i don't remember when i was able to sex mine 
i know endli usually needs to be >12" to be reliable...smaller for ornate, but apparently i wasn't thinking small enough

haha thanks INF! Yeah my two endlis even the one at 9.5 can't be sexed yet.. if I were to guess, female, but that could change.
My platinum sen is slightly smaller than the ornates and I can tell it's definitely male.
I'll see if I can get some good shots of their fins later today.
