I wonder what the deal is with ornates man. Even though hes and ass to the smaller polys he doesnt bother bigger ones. But still doesnt act like the others. Doesnt hang out with them. He always stays to his own

Well, my guess is that ornate are beautiful and spicey as women tend to be with those 2 traits seldom being separable. Ornate bichirs are the beauty queen of the bichirs, no denying it. I will say it was the ornate that was aggressive to the male lap, but it was the male lap who ended up gobbling some of my Rosie barbs. He is a strange for a bichir, at least in my experience. He has no trouble being out in the open, the ornate seems more skittish. My aquarium has pvc 2" piping embedded into the background and that is where she spends most her days. The lap has apparently picked up some of her bad behavior because lately I see him occupying the same tube she is in. Whatever their differences were, they are well past them.
My weeksii in the 13" range is a shy eater and I would not expect it to eat another poly. But all the pics online of polys eating other fish always seem to be endli or sometimes laps. Considering I am trying to get two wc's in I just decided to sell the little guys, so no worries now.
