idk it really depends on the ornates we actually had someone on here that bred his ornates in a 30g it was pretty amazing, but IMO it depends on the poly. It seems like i'd be a pretty good size tank though, but i'm sure since i really haven't looked into breeding them. Also you need a lot of time and resources to breed them. heres the thread of him documenting his breeding process (just to let you get a feel of what work and time is needed) http://www.monsterfishkeepers.com/forums/showthread.php?523920-Breeding-Ornates

Oh wow that's crazy! A 30! Yeah for sure I talk with the breeder I know a good bit, he was using something around 100 for all his poly projects. The thing is I am getting surgery soon (I have flat feet, the kind where your bones are out of place, causes a lot of pain and is messing up my knees and back) , and I won't be able to work for 2 years so I will have all the time in the world haha.

I am in the process of trying to find or mate, I know to look for a wider anal fin correct? For female that is I believe I have a male but at 7 inches the breeder I know said its hard to be sure, so I have a while till I can start that project, and then finding a for sure female will be a process.

Thanks for that thread it should help a lot! And you have helped a lot Dr. B thank you for the time, once I get my tank renovated I will be posting pics, adding devils ivy filtration and a facade made of logs to the outside corners. Can't wait for it to be done, should be less then a week! I am a poly freak now lol ever since I found out what they are (ancient fossil fish) and look the part, I'm completely in love haha so I'm sure well be talking again

not sure if you're considering this but JA has a pair of ornates for sale
 
I've seen!! I wish I could afford those right now, I would pick em up for sure. I would probably end up selling the ornate I have now to not overcrowd lol. JA has the best selection of poly I've ever seen! the rarest you'll find around here is an endl, maybe an ornate. even online its hard to find anyone in stock with anything but dels, endls, sens and ornates. if you know anyone else like JA I would love to know of them! I've been after a retropinnis since I've had a sen, and been after beutokoferri or polli especially. those 3 are the ones id like to go with, I need to find like at least 6 inchers though
