Have any one had success with Ornatums? After seeing Mels Ornatums, I had not seen anything more prettier, but never really see any anymore... I have had some but never got them to the size of Mels or ass pretty as Mels.

Anyone have any video of theirs and/or pictures. One of my favorite Cichlids but I have had no success...

Also is there anyone that doesn't like them and why?
 
I had some until I moved, but as to whether the were actually ornatum or gephyrum was up in the air. Got them fro Wet Spot as 1" fry. the largest before I moved was an 8" male.
 
Wow he looks good, I remember the discrepancy between whether or not it was a Ornatum or Gephyrum, no one never figured the out? No one ever talk about them anymore, wonder what happpened? I see a lot of green in yours, I believe Mels had red in his, hmmm...
