Ornatum Pair

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
I believe it was a male, in the pic, the red color was just starting to show in the fins.
About a week after the pic was taken, it managed a suicidal leap.
I found it on the floor next morning like this.
 
Now that's a shame, he was a beauty. Looks like a christmas tree with that amount of blue and gold freckles. I've noticed my smaller one has very defined barring and few blue freckles. Not nearly as colorful, hoping that comes with age.
 
Oh yes age is definitely a factor for the coloration. If you have not seen Mel O you tube video of his 3 1/2 year old pair you must!
