and hes only that size.....


very nice looking other wise. how big of a tank is he in?

 

[Cohazard]

HPIZZLE has a point, this guy is stunted, should be full grown (around 24") at that age.

It is a great looking ornate though.

I know of someone with 3 ornates 20-24" and half this age, grown up from a small size in a 3000L (yes, three zeros) tank. Either its a runt or its stunted. Looks happy enough tho......

Is that orange little guy safe in the tank with your ornate? I think it could fit in your ornate's mouth. hehehe
