my god,i cant seem to grow a 2nd ornate to pass 12", wow i just lost a 9"-10" ornate that i grew from 2" :( it jumped out,idk how none of my tops are open and and none came off,few months ago i also lost an ornate 8" to overfeeding -.-
 
sorry to hear that, I had similar experience, I lost 3 of them before, now I'm raising the new ones
 
You wanna know why...? You keep selling your bichirs, that's why.

I have a 75g holding tank for WC bichirs that are 12-15" and it doesn't even have a cover. Non of them jump. But they are for sale that's why they are in a 75g. The more bichirs you add the less jumpy they become. Lol!
 
o i see,my ornate was nice,i wanted to grow it out
 
Tough break but don't give up. Crap happens, you obviously are pretty good at raising poly's. Try again, in 4/5 years when you see that monster you have grown out, it will all be worth it. King is rignt--do stop selling. "Poly in, never out"

I know the feeling, here is my first go at growing out an Ornate.
