ornatum pair some new pics

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Hey Bastardfish! I didnt know you had ornatum! Ive not been on the site as frequently as before, but had I been, I would have jumped all over this thread. Ive seen this fish in person only once and I have to say it was not as impressive as the infamous ornatum pics. Yours are nice but still not as bright as I was expecting. Then again, as you said, they may be late bloomers. Man, I have so many questions. Do these guys bloat, other diseases, and who the hell was selling them? Oliver? Variants? Ive heard of rumors of color variants as well as species identification mistakes? pm me!
And yeah! Considering how many people have this on their impossible wish list with Ramsdeni, not too many people responded!
 
I know the ones I took photos of were very hard to capture any of the true colors of the fish. I'm going back to Mel's next month with a much better camera so hopefully I'll come back with more "true color" photos.
 
Kenneth glad you like man and I did PM you back. Yes the colors are hard to photograph, and change quite a bit depending on mood and tank set up.

I have to say it was not as impressive as the infamous ornatum pics.

bro this is because one, those two are a bit larger, and two it is my personal belief that they are a breeding pair in the breeding dress. Think about it makes since to me man after keeping them fr a year. I do still think they are later bloomers but also that is a breeding dress. I hope I will find out I am starting to make some real progress with mine. They have been showing some signs of promise lately.
