Which one?

[McPhishy]

Ornates get more monster sized, and have unique pattern. Ornate's pattern don't fade away. the picture MCphisy showed the big ornate- it was probably in a light substrate.

I love the body pattern on ornates Hao, but all pictures of adult ornates I see have faded body patterns. The baby ornate pic has white gravel and it has the pattern.

Another adult ornate:

Body pattern is all gone. If the ornate could keep that beautiful body pattern I would go with ornate, but sadly it fades away...

I agree w/ hao, in the right setup, ornates look way better than dels.

I kinda think your ornate is a bit faded. Your big guy looks monsterous, but the yellow spots are kinda gone. I am really sorry if I am offending you. I just think adult ornates look faded. Adult 18"+

It's all good. I say Monster sized Ornate is better than small Ornate. I don't usually look at pattern when it comes to Bichirs, I look at the headshape,body shape,thickness,color.

There should have been a selection for "All of the above".

you didn't explain that in general, i thought just based on your first posted pics.
