i don't own one but i know for a fact that they can grown to a massive beast of 24 inches! i went to a lps that specilized in exotic and rare fish (dragon aquarium canada) and they had a total monster ornate of at least 24 inches long and around 3 inches thick. when i saw that monster, It scared the living crap out of me. you'll need to get at LEAST a 120 gal tank for an ornate!

I've had her 11 years this past Christmas. She has grown incredibly slow for some reason. But she is still growing. She was 16" last year.

No, there is also a male ornate with her. He is about 14". They also share tank space with three laps. I just got two delhezi in January as well, and have 3 ropefish. That's it for now.
